One of the ancient cities of Russia, the capital of the Great Ryazan principality, begins its history earlier than Vladimir, Moscow. This is known from the pages of the surviving chronicles. It has always been an important point in the country's military operations. The Ryazan Kremlin, numerous military monuments, beautiful cathedrals can tell a lot about the history of the ancient city. Every year residents from different parts of the planet strive to learn it, look at the sights of Ryazan. To visit all of them, you need to stay in one of the modern hotels for a couple of weeks. Take advantage of excursion offers and find out information, for example, about the following significant places.

Church of St. John of Kronstadt

Today it is difficult to organically combine elements of modernity with its technical and stylistic requirements and the classical style - and we are not even talking about building churches, but about a common canvas. Fortunately, such a "fate" did not turn from a perspective into a reality in relation to the Church of St. John of Krondstadt, whose construction was officially completed two years ago, although some minor finishing works were still not completed.

The exterior neo-Byzantine style of decoration is a tribute to tradition in the elements of church art and at the same time "visible" association with another architectural monument - the Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles, which is located today in the former capital of the country. Both temples stand out noticeably due to the originality of the color scheme and the presence of horizontal stripes on the outer walls. And yet, modernity is breaking through - and not only in details.

The Church of St. John of Krondstadt conducts not only services and ceremonies, but is also involved in cultural activities - and the presence of a comfortable conference room makes it possible to hold meetings, seminars and summits.

Monument "Mushrooms with eyes"

An interesting monument appeared on the territory of the Lower Park of Ryazan in 2013. He was chosen from the results of a competition to create a folklore symbol of the city. The theme of the composition was a local proverb “And we have mushrooms with eyes in Ryazan! They are being eaten, and they are looking! ". The strange expression is associated with two local legends. The first speaks of a difficult hunt for the "cunning" gifts of nature. They see a mushroom picker approaching and warn their fellows to hide. The second came from the war. The border violator is determined even now if someone is cutting mushrooms on the border strip.

As a tribute to the people's ingenuity, the monument looks like a bronze sculpture of a huge boletus dad with two cute little sons. They are surrounded by forest dwellers (lizards, ladybugs, frogs, snails). He is all with eyes that carefully scan the surroundings. Kind eyes, clear faces, smiles and a nose like potatoes are guarding cozy benches located nearby. Monument address st. Lenin, 26. Numerous souvenirs are made with the image of "big-eyed mushrooms".

Cathedral park

Having decided on the place of residence, the first trip around the city is most often a trip to the ancient Kremlin. It is proposed to go to it along the alleys of the Cathedral Park. It is a favorite recreation area of ​​the townspeople, a popular tourist destination filled with architectural sights. The ennobled square together with the Kremlin shaft, "Konyushenny Dvor" is one of the popular, romantic places where festive festivities take place.

Historically, an ancient city was born here, and the city of Ostro was dominant. Until now, the atmosphere of a "place of power" hovers over every corner of the park. The mysterious energy of the park invites you to visit more than once. It is easy to enter the holy place through Propylene or the ancient gates with columns. The park is conventionally divided into two parts. One of them, located next to the Kremlin, leads to the beautiful Glebovsky Bridge, which hangs over a deep moat created to protect the Kremlin in ancient times.

Cathedral bell tower

Immediately behind the Glebovsky Bridge is the tallest building in the Kremlin - the Cathedral Bell Tower. It is her bells ringing over the surroundings, informing Orthodox believers about the services of the winter Nativity of Christ and the Assumption Cathedral. The multi-tiered structure was built for 50 long years, starting in 1783 according to the designs of three architects on the site of the old Gleb Tower of the Kremlin. All four tiers are made in different architectural styles.

The outer walls of each tier are decorated with sculptural compositions in the form of angels with copper pipes. Circular galleries provide a good view of the surroundings. There is an observation deck on the third tier. The bells are placed on the last tier, and a 25-meter gilded spire completes the austere beauty of the building. The height of the bell tower is 83.2 m. It rises above all the buildings of the Kremlin and is the tallest building in the region.

Monument to Evpatiy Kolovrat

In honor of the 70th anniversary of the Ryazan region, a monument appeared to one of the heroes of the Ryazan land, the Russian hero, boyar Yevpatiy Kolovrat (lived in the 13th century). The mighty warrior has become an eternal legend. In 1237, he, together with a squad of 1,700 fighters, organized a worthy rebuff to the troops of Batu. His courage conquered even the heart of a merciless enemy, and he gave the body of the deceased warrior to the Russians and set the living free. The monument depicts a mighty warrior on a muscular horse rearing up.

The figure is fixed on a red granite stone, which has become a symbol of the spilled blood. The author of the composition is an amateur sculptor, designer, decorator Oleg Sedov with the participation of architect Lavrentiev. The feat of Kolovrat is described in the old Russian "The Tale of the Ruin of Ryazan by Batu". The height of the sculpture together with the pedestal is 7 m. You can see the sight on the street.

Upper City Park

There are always a lot of people walking here and the administration is carrying out measures for its reconstruction, creating new conditions for recreation. The people call the garden Natashkin Park. This is due to local legends. According to one of them, the daughter of a wealthy merchant named Natasha hanged herself in the garden. According to another assumption - that was the name of the daughter of the tsarist official Klimov.

For participation in the terrorist movement, she was sentenced to death, through the efforts of an influential father, the execution was replaced by exile. After escaping from the tsarist prison, after long painful wanderings, Natasha ended up in Paris and in 1918 she died of the flu. Walking in the park, you are invited to see numerous monuments dedicated to famous people of the Ryazan region.

Monument to George the Victorious

Among the symbolic places of the city is Victory Boulevard, which runs parallel to the Moscow highway. Residents of the city from this place went to the Great Patriotic War. In honor of the victory, a monument to George the Victorious (patron saint of soldiers) was erected, which has become a landmark. It was installed on the day of the death of the Saint in May 2005.

The second depicts the heroes of the Patriotic War. The composition of the third side of the pedestal is dedicated to the holiday in honor of the victory. The fourth bas-relief is dedicated to the workers of the rear.

Amusement park "Prio-Land"

The most beloved place of children who have long become grandfathers was here, in the Railway Workers Park. Chain carousels, boat swings, helicopters, toy cars, a rotating plate and unusually tasty cotton candy attracted the children of the city here. The low cost of tickets made it possible to stay here at least all day. The park received a new life under the name "Prio-Land" in the spring of 1998. It is located in the central part, not far from Victory Square.

The main entertainment offers in them are represented by numerous types of water slides, extreme attractions on the water, various types of guns, showers, pools. Aquaclub "Acapulco" was opened in 2009 on Mayakovskogo street. According to the list of services provided in the club, it differs from the usual water park.

Theatre square

A small area of ​​the city used to be on the outskirts and was called Yamskaya Sloboda. There was an entrance to the city from the southern side and was marked by two stone pillars destroyed during the revolution. They served as outposts with customs. There was a chapel in the central part of the square. It was built to commemorate the arrival of Emperor Alexander I in the city in 1819. Merry fairs were held nearby three times a week. The Ryazan region was a famous region of Russia for its crafts: matting, potters, spoonmen, coopers. The place received its modern name after the construction of the Drama Theater building. The fountain "Masks" appeared instead of the chapel.

It is built of red granite, has a rectangular shape and adorns a small park in front of the theater building. Around the square, buildings made in the style of the Stalinist Empire have appeared, which have become local attractions. Among them there is also a monument to Tsiolkovsky, an institute of culture. With the growth of the city, the Teatralnaya Square ensemble became the historical center of the city.

Museum of the history of chocolate Choco Rua

An interesting institution of the city was opened in July 2109 on the basis of the Shoko Rua workshop at 22 Soviet Army Street. The museum has exhibitions showing the history of the creation of chocolate delicacies. During the excursions, it is proposed to learn one of the legends of the region associated with Peter I, his acquaintance with local sweets and a great interest in the Ryazan region.

This he called the delicacy that Louis XV treated him to, the chocolate king or "Choco Rua". In the museum you can try and see the process of making delicacies according to the old recipes of Peter the Great's mother Natalya Naryshkina in the form of sugar-dried fruits.

Interactive programs are designed for specific age groups. This attracts families with different children here. You can visit on your own using the audio guide. At the same time, learn the history of chocolate, look at the chocolate tree, taste the original drink "chocolatl".Go to the "Embassy of the Chocolate Kingdom" and taste delicious gifts from Princess Choka surprises.

Central Park of Culture and Rest

The park is considered the largest in the city. It consists of two parts: the Lower and the Upper Gardens. The layout was developed by the specialists of the architectural and design department of Academician Vesnin. Both areas of the park have their own history, features in landscape design. In the Lower Garden there used to be the estate of Gavrila Ryumin. Fountains, ponds with swans and rare plants were characteristic elements. Some trees in the alleys of the old park have survived to this day.

The upper part (Natasha's garden) is associated with the life of a wealthy official, Tsar Klimov. Until now, flowers are carried to the old linden tree, ribbons are tied as a sign of marital fidelity, where, according to one of the legends, Natasha hanged herself as a sign of unhappy love. There are monuments to Yesenin Ulyanovs in the park, benches for rest are installed, and many playgrounds have been built. The entrance to the park is free of charge. There are always many city residents here.

Toy Factory Museum

A place where fairy tales come to life, characters from distant childhood reign, exciting children's games come to life, pleasant memories are formed. It is not for nothing that a daytime center for children has been organized here. They can spend their holidays in a fabulous, kind atmosphere, during the time from 8 am to 7 pm, when the parents calmly continue to work. Among the museum exhibits are toys created in different periods of time.

You can look at what our grandmothers played with for a long time, admire the ensemble of New Year's toys. The museum's toy collections tell in detail about the creation of Christmas tree decorations according to traditions, starting from the 18th century. It has its own glass-blowing workshop, where it is shown how glass balls appeared, and you can decorate them yourself in master classes. It became possible to touch toys made of cotton wool, created according to old technologies, to take part in a disco with a Snow Maiden, to receive a gift from Santa Claus since May 21, 2018. Located on Münsterskaya street, 3.

Solotchinsky Nativity of the Virgin convent

The fourteenth century of Russian architecture was marked by the emergence of a new vision and, accordingly, new specific design elements, whose complex was called the Moscow Baroque or Naryshkinsky - after one of the richest families at that time. This style was noted in Ryazan, more precisely, not in a modern city, but twenty kilometers from it - in the snow-white walls and graceful decoration of the Solotchinsky Nativity of the Virgin of the nunnery, standing on the bank of the same old river, repeating the first part of the name of the monastery.

It is believed that the monastery itself was founded during the reign of Prince Oleg, who ruled at the end of the fourteenth century. The erection of its high walls was prompted by a meeting with two hermit elders, who managed to entertain the prince with conversation. And the formerly religious - like all children of his time - Prince Oleg ultimately took monastic vows, continuing to help the recently appeared monastery. This idea of ​​help was continued by his heirs.

Solotchinsky Nativity of the Theotokos convent has an enveloping atmosphere of tranquility, spilled over wide courtyards, flooding the buildings of two ancient churches that are part of the monastery complex. But to get here from the city you will have to spend your own time and energy. Of course, the easiest option would be to call a taxi, but such a trip can significantly hit the pocket and spoil the joy of meeting, but a trip by a regular bus from the Prioksky bus station to the Solotcha Village stop would be the best option.

Cathedral Square

Previously, all roads led to Rome - but this is in a simplified and more scaled form. If we take a specific area, say, Ryazan, then all roads will lead to Cathedral Square, which can literally be reached by any type of transport - you just have to not miss the stop of the same name.

During its rather impressive history, the modern Cathedral Square has managed to change several names and several images that stand today in fragments at its ends. Perhaps the most organic tandem is made up of two temple buildings - a chapel, built recently, and a monolith of the seventeenth century - the Church of Elijah the Prophet.

The snow-white chapel firmly clings to the ground and in its shape resembles rather a casually thrown helmet of an old bearded knight from ancient frescoes. One of the sides of the modern Cathedral Square is crowned with two series of colonnades with an interesting design - this also quite young architectural element appeared in order to mark the entrance to the park. And after a short pleasant walk to the accompaniment of the rustling voice of the wind, you can go to the embankment and even to the Ryazan Kremlin.

The embankment

The right tributary of the Oka - the full-flowing and clear river Trubezh - is enclosed today in concrete banks and armor from centuries. The embankment, literally and historically colorful, offers its guests impressive panoramic views of the steep banks that connect the building of the Ryazan Kremlin with the architectural ensemble of the Cathedral Park. Unfortunately, the modern embankment has somewhat decreased in size compared to the end of the past century, but this does not prevent it from remaining almost a traditional place for walking young people, more mature couples bound by marital vows, and tourists.

You can get to the embankment itself by trolleybus following the first route, or by bus, however, you can only get to the Sobornaya Ploschad stop, after which you will have a short walk to the banks of Trubezh. The main "beacon" for those wishing to get to the embankment is the rather remarkable building of the Church of the Savior on Yar.

It is from him, passing the Cathedral Park and stoically ignoring all the stalls with street food and souvenir shops, that you can go to the Glebovsky Bridge - a kind of souvenir of history, a monument of the fifteenth century. A little further, the hum of the local floating station becomes noticeable - the small pier is never empty and carries away the observation of its work. And already a little further than the pier, the promenade itself begins with its views of the river floodplains.

Monument to Sergei Yesenin

The Oka is one of the deepest and most beautiful rivers in Russia; it has appeared more than once in the poems of Sergei Yesenin, the recognized son of his country. Therefore, the establishment of monuments, unique in their style, depicting this person, is not surprising - the great poet remains forever close to his native element - and this is already symbolic.

One of the most unusual monuments to Sergei Yesenin is the bronze giant, whose powerful figure "dug in" in the Cathedral Park - and this "dug in" should not be taken allegorically. The bronze composition by A. Kibalnikov has a rather peculiar appearance - the poet appears before the guests of the park with his arms outstretched, loudly reciting poetry - a giant made of bronze comes out of the ground, crowning the horizontal composition, which in itself is amazing. The pedestal, made of rare granite, has a muted emerald-smoky shade.

It is decorated with a thin bas-relief - the figure of a free-floating crane. The monument to the man who praised his country surprisingly suits the poetic mood of the Cathedral Park with its panoramic views of the wide sleeves of the Oka tributary and the eternal rustling of old trees, which become especially beautiful in autumn and at the dawn of winter - mountain ash turns purple, birches gently blush, spreading maples.

Pavlov Estate Museum

One way or another, most people came across the name of Academician Pavlov, including those far from the world of high science and physiology, and Pavlov's dogs also caused and continue to cause a certain resonance, and therefore a visit to the museum-estate, whose exposition is entirely devoted to this outstanding without exaggeration to a person, it will be a great addition to the tourist route. This place disposes to itself, because it is rather difficult to call it a museum in the full sense of the word - and it is beautiful in its own way.

The manor in which the scientist was born and spent part of his life is a really cozy place - warm solid wooden buildings, sloping green roofs, an orchard that has grown rapidly over the past years - and all this came from the nineteenth century. And the exposition itself represents everything that can help the guests of the estate museum get to know Pavlov more as a person - these are his personal diaries, numerous correspondences and notes, as well as the memories of contemporaries who were lucky enough to get acquainted with the great mind of his time.

The museum conducts excursions of different focus. Each of them illuminates a certain component of the academician's life: whether it is a review of the scientific activity itself, the place that literature or painting occupied in his life, a somewhat unusual interpretation of dreams according to Pavlov's teachings, the peculiarities of Pavlov's "relationship" with the sports world, and so on. You should find out about the cost of excursions and the possibility of ordering them in the contact center of the museum.

Museum-reserve "Estate of S. N. Khudyakov"

The name of Sergei Nikolaevich Khudyakov, as a rule, is associated with his most ambitious brainchild - an arboretum in Sochi, where a really impressive collection of a wide variety of plants is collected, however, few people know about the origins of this place, and these origins are in the Ryazan region, namely in the village of Erlino, where the first park-arboretum of Khudyakov was created.

The site for the first arboretum was excellently chosen - the architecture of the noble nineteenth century and the delicate English landscape style of local parklands became an excellent canvas for the work of a person of such extraordinary abilities. Initially, only local plants bloomed magnificently on the territory of the then estate, sometimes diluted with something more exotic, but with the transfer of the estate to the ownership of Sergei Khudyakov, the situation changed rapidly - now even the rarest seeds were supplied from four corners of the world.

Today, the former park-arboretum has received the status of a museum-reserve, however, on its territory there are not only greenhouses, hotbeds and alleys, but also the old manor itself, a small cozy church, a modest pretty nursery and even a boat dock, which gave them a historical look. A visit to all these places in the complex leaves a really deep impression, and the ticket price, which does not exceed one hundred rubles, depending on the category of citizens, makes this place more than affordable for visiting.

Ryazan Art Museum

In the city, you can find many architectural monuments related to the periods of its most rapid and pathetic outward development. These monuments date back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when the most ambitious - even on a global scale - religious buildings were created. But this wave also erected a building that now belongs to an art museum.

Classicism - solemnity and severity, colonnades in the antique style and a clear separation of the center. All this can be clearly seen in the appearance of the mansion, which was built at the expense of Gavrila Ryumin, so that after a while it would be transferred to the local gymnasium, which arranged a boarding school here for their pets. The history of this place, already as a museum, begins at the dawn of the twentieth century.

It is noteworthy that most of the collection - and it is by no means small, numbering more than twelve thousand exhibits - is made up of art objects voluntarily donated to the museum by artists-ecologists and patrons interested in the dynamic development and popularization of both Russian art and European cultural traditions.

The permanent exhibition is represented not only by canvases, but also by sculptural compositions, engravings, jewelry, as well as porcelain items. It is worth visiting this museum, especially since tickets for one of the most complete collections of art objects in Russia cost up to forty rubles.

Kazan women's monastery

It is sad to realize, but the fate of some of the most ancient monasteries, temples and churches, in one way or another, was associated with many dramatic or even bloody events to a greater extent than the history of the same ancient monuments, but not of a religious orientation.

This is especially noticeable against the background of the history of the Kazan Women's Monastery, which over the five centuries of its existence managed to change its location, turn from a house of prayer into a house of prisoners - there was a concentration camp on its territory, it was destroyed and beheaded, in order to eventually restore and again allow services to be conducted. ... The first name of the modern Kazan convent was Yavlensky. This was the generalized name of those holy places where the “apparitions” of icons took place - and in our case it was the Kazan icon, well known to everyone.

The first monastery was founded on a high hill, from which an impressive panorama of the confluence of the Trubezh and Lybed rivers opened, but today's monastery is located in the historical part, comfortably nestled among rather old, but, nevertheless, residential buildings today. The main landmark in the search for the building of the monastery is Svoboda Square - trolleybuses three and ten, as well as bus number eighteen follow to it. The monastery itself is within a few minutes of a leisurely walk.

Ryazan Kremlin

It is precisely the place where the concentration of what can be called the material embodiment of history is greatest. These are architectural monuments, erected or at least partially preserved, starting from the eleventh century. Of the eighteen main elements of the Ryazan Kremlin complex, the most notable are the Assumption Cathedral, as well as the bell tower located nearby.

The cathedral was erected according to the project of the talented architect Yakov Bukhvostov, who managed to create a unique in its beauty ensemble, made of white stone and decorated with fine carvings, and none of its elements were repeated. The master himself, despite the recognition of his talent, remained a serf. It is noteworthy that at one time these buildings served as a "lighthouse". They were and are still visible from almost all parts of the city.

Another large-scale building is Oleg's Palace, which is considered the most important non-religious building in the Kremlin complex. The palace is made in a baroque style in combination with terem elements, which gives it a peculiar charm. Today, there are six permanent exhibitions, which can be visited separately and, accordingly, pay a separate fee for each ticket, or you can visit the Ryazan Kremlin in a comprehensive manner, while excursion support is possible only for a fee.

Drama theatre

The cultural life of the city would be incomplete without its theatrical component, which is traditionally associated with the name of the universally known poet Gabriel Derzhavin. It was with his feasible assistance that the first then Opera House was opened, which gradually turned into a drama theater.The importance of drama theater as a cultural element can be judged at least by the fact that the premiere of the comedy, as the author himself defined it, Nikolai Gogol's "Inspector General" was first staged not in the then brilliant capital of St. Petersburg, but in Ryazan, precisely on its stage ...

And in the future, the theater continued to hold its position, giving a start for the career of the actors who received all-Russian fame, occasionally deciding on adventures and unusual elements of performances, which were often celebrated in theatrical circles. The modern repertoire of the theater is quite diverse and is perfect for people who are ready to perceive the works of the classics, which are complex in their structure and semantic content, - Dostoevsky, Ostrovsky, Nabokov.

In addition, the works of the brilliant English playwright, William Shakespeare, quite often come to life on the stage. The theater is accessible for visiting - the price of the most expensive tickets does not exceed six hundred rubles, and a flexible system of discounts can reduce the cost by almost fifty percent. Another plus is the desire of the theater to keep up with the times - the official website, where you can also order tickets, is quite stable.

Water park "Gorki"

Not far from the city there is a small village of Polyany, however, it is difficult to say that this place is a classic version of the Russian hinterland, and it is even more difficult to call it uncrowded - there are always a lot of people here - mostly tourists who decided to spend time with benefit and pleasure in local entertainment complex.

Oka Pearl brings together under one roof a rather impressive list of various establishments, but the most popular is the Gorki water park, which is one of the largest indoor water parks in the country. Spending just an hour or a whole day - this, of course, depends on the financial capabilities and personal preferences of everyone, but a visit to the water park will not leave indifferent either children, for whom a special amusement zone is equipped here, or adults who are not averse to experiencing their share of extreme.

For those who are not interested in extreme sports, the Gorki water park offers no less pleasant relaxation, but already in a jacuzzi. Adherents of traditionalism can spend time in a real Russian bath. For those who are hungry, there are cafes and several restaurants with quite decent cuisine in the water park complex.

Friendship Park

There are many gardens and parks in the city that appeared at different historical times. Many of them have special places, original monuments associated with the name, specific events. The City Friendship Park was created as a gratitude to the joint actions of the Soviet-Polish Brotherhood in Arms. This is evidenced by the monument erected in 1983 at the main entrance to the green zone. The architectural ensemble consists of the figures of two soldiers of the Soviet and two Polish armies running with weapons.

They are shown during a general attack on the enemy. Between them, a rocket salvo of the famous Katyusha rushes high. Similar monuments stand in Ryazan's Senny Square and in Warsaw on the square of the Vilensky Railway Station. The walking area of ​​the park does not have modern attractions, entertainment buildings. Mothers with strollers and elderly people come here for peace, quiet rest. The park is clean, work is underway to decorate flower beds, repair paths, and install benches for rest.

Memorial park

The ancient site is associated with burials of the 18th century or the Sorrowful Cemetery. Here in 1807 a church appeared, which is still active today. At the beginning of the 20th century, the remains of the victims of repression, soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War, were buried here. Now here are the graves of over 2 thousand soldiers, Leningraders, evacuated to Ryazan. During the 40th anniversary of the victory in it, a memorial was built here, which gave the name to the park.

Together with it, the memory zone has become a venue for special events associated with public holidays in honor of memorable dates. The project of the monument at the military cemetery was developed by local architects. Above the entrance to the park on a massive arch are written the words "Immortal who gave his life for the freedom of the Motherland." A bronze bas-relief was erected and the Fire of Memory is burning.

Lower city park

Part of the city park or "Drunken Park", as the townspeople used to call the green zone, is famous for the sculpture "Mushrooms with eyes" and is a popular recreation place for residents. The famous cascade of ponds of the old Ryumin estate is no longer there. Only hilly terrain with lowlands and ravines reminds of them. But there is something to see here. There is still a beautiful wooden mansion or the seat of the Noble Assembly. The intricate carved elements of the building evoke interest and surprise.

In the park, the buildings of the Ryazan Philharmonic Society, Gostiny Dvor, a monument to Pavlov, and the Pozhalostin Art Museum have been preserved. The building used to house Ryumin's palace.
