Lipetsk's history
The city is in many respects its existence and position Due to Peter the Great, whose name is associated with the opening of the future territory ironstone deposits of the city and later - mineral springs . In 1703, near the confluence of the river Lipovka in the Voronezh River for the further development of the field, iron smelting and the manufacture of guns Emperor founded Lipsky vododeystvuschie smelters .Formed around them, the settlement in 1709 was transformed into the Lipsky iron plants, and 70 years later Catherine II gave the settlement the status of a county town and named it Lipetsk .
In the future history of the city, the primary role was played not by metallurgy, but by mineral water. The unstable situation in Europe, where Napoleon Bonaparte's army was already marching, forced the Russian nobility to seek safer places for rest. Lipetsk was very useful: in 1805 Alexander I issued a decree on the establishment of the resort on the basis of local mineral springs.- Try the mineral water that was discovered in the local places by Peter the Great and became the brand of the city. Nowadays, they produce not only ordinary mineral water, but also fruit soda.
- See the only monument in the world for terrorists. On the territory of the Lower Park there is still a monument to Narodnaya Volya that was established in 1972, which in 1879 at that resort held the congress of its terrorist organization, by the way, the first in the world. The Narodnaya Volya organization proclaimed its course a mass terror directed against the elite of the Russian Empire. Therefore, in many foreign language publications, Lipetsk is listed as the "homeland of world terrorism."
- Visit the Lower Park, where the Petrovsky Pond was located in the 17th century - the largest hydrotechnical structure at that time and the largest man-made reservoir in the whole of Russia. Then, after drainage, there appeared the park facilities of the Lipetsk resort, and after that the city park, which today is a dendrological monument and the most visited place in the city.
Entertainment, excursions and attractions Lipetsk
Three main sights of Lipetsk that can not be ignored , Is the oldest temple in the city, which today is a monument of history and architecture. Unusual in its architecture and built in the Baroque style, the Old Church of the Assumption is located on the place where in the XVII century there was a monastery of the Paroyskaya Pustyn, next to the Iron Mountain and the source.The second most important landmark of Lipetsk is his monumental Nativity Cathedral, located on the central square. It is interesting that the church adjoins the monument to Lenin, and that in Soviet times it was not destroyed - it housed a local history museum. Its integrity is due to the chief architect of the Lipetsk region LE Rudakov, who thanks to his authority was able to defend this historical monument.
And the third, more modern landmark - a monument to Peter the Great, installed on the square named in his honor. The total height of the structure is 5, 6 m, and it weighs 27 tons. At the same square, which has become a new center, there is a light and music fountain, and most of the large-scale city events are held here.
In addition, we advise you to visit the factory where you make wood painting with the famous Lipetsk patterns . Also do not bypass the Lipetsk Zoo where you can admire the rare species of animals (Petrovsky pr ., 2), and if you want - and treat some, special packages with food . can be sold at the ticket offices. You can spend an hour in the Upper Park, where nice buildings are preserved - House Apt ekarya and the Wedding Palace . Pay attention to the sculptural composition "International - the guys from the musical team" and Lenin's white color .
