The beginning of it was laid in 1760 by the construction of iron-making, and later the arms factory, which became a kind of symbol of the whole republic. Originally it was a factory village, and the status of the city was received only in 1918 by the decision of the Soviet of Workers' Deputies. Today, Izhevsk is one of the twenty largest cities in Russia, including the population.

"Friendship of Peoples" Monument

One of the most famous buildings of the capital of the Udmurt Republic is undoubtedly monument "Friendship of Peoples", located on the city embankment. The occasion for its erection was the 400th anniversary of the republic's entry into Russia.

Among the townspeople, the monument has the playful name of "Kulakov's ski" - in honor of the famous Olympic champion-skier Galina Kulakova, a native of the city. The reason for this name was the external similarity of the monument, consisting of two high pedestals, with skis.

Today the area around the monument is landscaped: there are benches, decorative facing with marble tiles and night illumination. The place can be seen from different points of the city.

Izhevsk Arsenal

This amazing building is located near the central square of the city, behind the presidential palace. Initially, it was intended for storage of weapons, as can be seen from the name. But today Arsenal is a unique example of pure classicism in architecture, which miraculously survived in the city.

Today the National Museum of the Udmurt Republic is based here, and the neighborhoods of the building are a favorite vacation spot for townspeople and informal youth.

Nevsky Cathedral

The cathedral in honor of the faithful prince Alexander Nevsky is a cathedral. He was originally planned by the architect as the main religious structure of the city. In Soviet times, the temple was closed and converted into a cinema, and opposite it stood the statue of Stalin. During the reconstruction, the building was returned to the Church.

The prototype of the cathedral was the St. Andrew's Church in Kronstadt, the architect only replaced the materials and adapted the structure to the terrain . According to the idea of ​​the creator of Dudin, the author of many historical buildings in Izhevsk, the church building should have been a single ensemble with standing opposite the Mikhailovsky column - a small copy of the Alexandrian Pillar in St. Petersburg - and the spire of the factory building . However, under the Bolshevik rule the column was demolished, and the view from the cathedral to the plant was blocked by the building of the Palace of Cults urs, destroying the ensemble . Today the column is restored, but it is still impossible to visually assess the combination of these structures .

Mikhailovsky Cathedral

If someone who visited Izhevsk ten years ago appeared here again, he would have been amazed at how transformed the weeds overgrown with weeds on a hill near the Central Square. At that time, only a footpath made its way through the dense thickets of trees, and through the foliage a nobody could see a memorial building of a clearly Soviet type.

Today, here stands the huge temple of the Archangel Michael, once destroyed, and now again risen. From the wasteland and randomly scattered trees there was no trace left. The visitor's eyes are opened with a beautiful green lawn - an object of special concern of local authorities, as well as a wide flight of stairs from the base of the hill and a well-arranged circular platform, laid with a stone stone, with benches and night illumination.

Now this area has become a favorite place for wedding corteges, tourists all suits and just resting townspeople

City Embankment

Embankment of the city pond is a big project that is designed to turn the coastline into a recreation zone for the townspeople. To date, it is not completely finished: roads are being built, landscaping continues. But in the central part there is already something to see.

The hill from the pond on which huge poplars used to grow, now represents cascades of highways and stairs, and all the free space is covered by a layer of lawn. It looks really nice, and, according to the plan of the performers, the sample on which they were oriented was the embankment of Nice.

Looks like it turned out or not, it remains to be appreciated only by those who visited the French city. And residents of Izhevsk can only enjoy the improvement of the central district.

And in the city there is a zoo and a circus, according to experts, one of the best in the country.
