Circus in Simferopol

Simferopol is the cultural and administrative center of the Crimea. A city with a hero, with a great and interesting history.
There are many tourists in the city: some go specially for the sights of Simferopol, others - drop in for a while, waiting for the time to leave the train or bus to the resorts. Simferopol has always been noisy, animated and at the same time peaceful.
Two cultures - Byzantine and Turkic - are in Simferopol nearby and constantly intertwined. This was reflected in the toponymy of the city.
The capital of the Crimea has several names. From Greek Simferopol can be translated as "city of benefit", "city-collector" or "city of universal good". And from the period of the Crimean Khanate, the city has one name - Aqmescit (or Akmechet, Akmechit, Ak-Mosque). That in the translation sounds like a "white mosque". Since the reign of Alexander I and before the revolution on maps and official sources, the city was referred to both Greek and Crimean-Tatar manners.
Simferopol received its "antique" name because of the fashion that existed at the court of Catherine II, to call the new southern territories in memory of the once existing Greek settlements there.
Simferopol is standing on the Salgir river. The city celebrates its official birthday since 1784, but the first settlements appeared on this site in the 3rd century BC. e. The ancient city was called Naples Scythian, its ruins are now located near the Petrovsky Balka (on the shore of Salgir)
Crimean Tatar Trail - the city of Akmechet - can also be found in modern Simferopol
Now the remains of the White Mosque are called the Old City. They can be found in the area of Petrovsky Balka, the block is bordered by several streets: Lenin, Krylov, Krasnoarmeiskaya and Sevastopol.
Architecture of Simferopol
The quarters of the Old City are not like the rest of Simferopol. Curves and narrow streets, the layout is similar to the typical building in the cities of Central Asia.
Quarters built under the direction of Prince Grigory Potemkin-Tavrichesky look quite different: wide and straight streets, clear planning and beauty of clean lines. The quarter is determined by the streets of Rosa Luxemburg, Pavlenko, Mayakovsky, Caucasus, Karaite, Proletarian. It was from here, on the left bank of the Salgir, that provincial Simferopol was built.
The buildings of the Soviet era and modern buildings occupy large areas, mostly sleeping areas that are not very noticeable.
In the spring of 1944, Simferopol was almost blown up by the retreating city fascist troops. The theme of the Great Patriotic War and occupation is embodied in numerous monuments on the streets of Simferopol.
Simferopol is an important transport junction of the peninsula. In the city there are two airports, a railway station (which is of considerable tourist value, so the tour can start immediately after reaching the platform from the train car) and the bus station. Most residents prefer to travel around the city on a trolleybus, especially as a couple of routes connect Simferopol with other cities.
The longest trolleybus line in the world connects Simferopol with Yalta and Alushta. Its length is 86.5 km.
You can not come to Simferopol and do not go to Count Vorontsov's House, do not visit the botanical garden, Naples Scythian. Let the capital of the Crimea is not on the coast, but next to it there is the Simferopol water reservoir - a huge fresh water reservoir and a favorite resting place.
Walk around the museums - the republican local lore or Crimean Tatar will tell a lot of interesting information about the difficult life of the indigenous peoples of the peninsula.
