Landscapes of Plyos can be seen on the canvases of Isaac Levi tana, and the panorama of the city and the Volga coast in the movies "Cruel romance" by Eldar Ryazanov and "Chinese service" by Vitaly Moskalenko
Ples is one of the best options for historical tourism in order to experience the spirit of the provincial Russian city of the 19th century. Indeed, despite the small size of the city, there are a lot of architectural monuments here.
This is the Resurrection Church transferred from the Ivanovo region (1699), which was placed on the Levitan Hill on the site of the church burned down in 1903, depicted by the artist in the painting " Above the Eternal Peace ", and a cult monument of Russian architecture in the style of the provincial baroque - the Assumption Cathedral (1699), and the ensemble of the Trinity and Vvedensky churches (early 19th century) - the main gate of Ples from the Ivanovo entry into the city, and the Varvarinskaya erkov (1821) and many others.
official history Ples comes with 1410, and for a long time, he was an active transportation link. However, with the construction of the Ivanovo-Kineshma railway in 1871, the transport value of Plyos fell dramatically. It was rumored that the Plesk merchants purposely "paid off" from the railroad, believing that it could ruin their business.
Anyway, but where there is no economic development (and there are no industrial enterprises in Ples), there and the catastrophic impact of progress on historical values is minimal. Thanks to which we can enjoy the safety of the historical appearance of this unique city.
In addition to Ples historical is interesting and Ples artistic. There are many private museums in the city, as well as the State Museum of Architecture and Art, which unites the Levitan House Museum, the Ivanovo Region's Artistic Crafts and the Landscape Museum.
Annually since 2007, Ples, along with other cities in the Ivanovo region, participates in the international film festival "Mirror" named after Andrei Tarkovsky.
