What to see and where to go in Perm?

The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.

In 1982, a new drama theater building was built here, in 1985 - a monument in honor of war heroes and a color and musical fountain, which was later replaced with a more modern one. Nowadays, to improve the appearance of the place and increase its attractiveness for residents, cultural objects continue to be built here.

The composition also includes the figure of a photographer standing opposite, ready to take a photo with a rare camera. The monument is located on one of the central streets of Perm.

Another city sculpture depicting the famous symbol of the city - the bear. She decorated the central part of Perm in 2009 (the first version of the monument was made of stone and installed in 2006). According to the original idea of ​​the authors of the project, the composition symbolizes the stereotype widespread among foreigners that in Ural cities Bears roam the streets freely.

The art object is an inscription of two-meter red letters located on the Kama embankment in the area river station. It was created by B. Matrosov for the ArtPole festival. The composition arrived in Perm in 2009. The attraction gained popularity largely thanks to television, as it appeared in a couple of famous Russian TV series and even in an American music video.

An art museum containing more than 50 thousand works of art created from ancient times to the present. There are collections of Perm wooden sculpture, icons, engravings, antique ceramics, and medieval painting. The exhibition is located in the building of an architectural monument - the Spaso-Perobrazhensky Cathedral of the late 18th - early 19th centuries, erected according to the design of I. I. Sviyazev.

The temple is one of the first stone buildings in the city. It is believed that the development of the city began with its foundation in the 18th century. The building was built in provincial baroque style on the site of an earlier church. In 1929, the temple was closed as part of a general anti-religious campaign, and almost all valuable church property was confiscated. Worship services resumed in the 1990s after extensive restoration of the building.

The history of the monastery began at the end of the 18th century with the construction wooden church for copper smelter workers. In 1816, construction began on a stone church, which gradually formed monastery. In 1935, the monastery was abolished, the main part of the premises was transferred to the production warehouses of the bakery plant. In 1995, the Holy Trinity Stephen Monastery resumed its activities.

The temple was erected in 1902, largely thanks to donations from townspeople. It became the last church in Perm built before the 1917 Revolution. In those days, people called it “merchant”. In the 1930s, after confiscation by the authorities, it was converted into a bakery. In the 1970s, it was decided to restore and place it inside concert hall. In 1991, the building was returned to believers.

The picturesque Art Nouveau mansion is considered one of the most beautiful buildings In Perm. It was erected at the end of the 19th century according to the design of A. B. Turchevich for the family of one of the city officials. In 1905, the house was bought by merchant S. M. Gribushin and rebuilt it according to his taste. In 1919, the merchant’s family left Russia, and the building became the property of the authorities. At various times, a military hospital and a children's hospital were located on its territory.

City mansion in historical center Perm, built at the beginning of the 19th century.

The stage was founded in 1988 by S. P. Fedotov, an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation and a famous artist, on the basis of the Nytvenskaya youth theater studio, where interesting experimental productions were given.

Dramatic stage founded in 1927. Over the past time, she has managed to change several sites. Today the theater is located in a building built in 1981, which is considered a regional architectural monument. The structure was built according to the design of V. P. Davydenko. In 2005-2006, its restoration was carried out - during the work, the facades and some elements of the external decoration were updated.

The theater appeared in 1870. The building that has survived to this day was built in 1879. In the middle of the 20th century, it was completely reconstructed, without touching the historical appearance of the stage. The main goal of the theater is to present to the audience the entire creative heritage of the famous native of the Kama region - composer P. I. Tchaikovsky. All of his works were staged here: 3 ballets and 10 opera performances.

These are some of the most beautiful sights of the Urals. Geographically, these two natural attractions are located in the Krasnovishersky district of the Perm Territory, in the Northern Urals.

Narrow Street. The history of the Northern Urals is unusually rich in myths and legends. One of them is probably the most beautiful - the legend of Narrow Street. This is located remarkable place near the village of Nyrob. A few kilometers before reaching it, you need to turn right (right before the Lyunva River) and drive about three kilometers along a dirt road. Between two hills, in a large clearing, you will see a sign informing you that you are in the specially protected natural and historical territory “Iskorskoe Settlement”. To get to Narrow Street, you need to turn right, and after walking literally two hundred meters through the forest, you will see one of the wonders of the Ural nature.

Shirokovskoye Reservoir. The Shirokovskoye reservoir is located on the Kosva River in the Gubakhinsky district of the Perm Territory, and got its name from the village of Shirokovskoye. The Shirokovskoye Reservoir is very extensive. It stretches along the Kosva River from northeast to southwest for 25 kilometers. The width of the reservoir is from 1 to 4 kilometers. Moreover, it has a significant depth of up to 36 meters ( average depth– 12.9 meters). The length of the reservoir dam is about 300 meters.

Ethnographic park “Museum of the History of the Chusovaya River”. Thanks to the efforts of an enthusiast from the city of Chusovaya, the most famous Ural river had its own museum in 1986. This fabulous corner is located on the outskirts of the city of Chusovoy, Perm Territory. The Park Museum of the History of the Chusovaya River stands in the open air at the foot of Arinina Mountain, on the banks of the small Arkhipovka River. A real cozy village street in the style of the late 19th century has formed here.
