I want to tell you about Tatarstan, one of the biggest republics of Russia. It is located in the Eastern part of Europe at the junction of the Volga and Kama rivers. Its population is about three million people. Climate is moderatecontinental with warm, sometimes hot summers and moderate cold winters. The main wealth of Tatarstan is oil, the stock of which is about one billion tons a year.
Sights of Kazan Puppet Theater Ekiyat More than 70 -old years the puppet theater was in the building of the former Church of the Descent of the Saints’ Spirit. It is nearby, on the street Lukovsky. And in 2008 began the construction of a new theater building seven-story, in the form of a fairytale castle.
Bauman Street. Pedestrian street Bauman - the main tourist street of Kazan Where is located: it starts at the western wall of the Kremlin, ends at Gabdulla Tukaya Square. No guide to Kazan will do without mentioning this street and no description of it can be done without comparison with the Moscow Arbat. Yes, recently Bauman Street - Kazan "Arbat".
The Kul-Sharif Mosque is the main mosque of Tatarstan. It is located in the territory of the Kazan Kremlin and is considered one of the largest in Europe. The reconstruction of the mosque began in 1996, and ended already in our century (2005). The architectural complex was built on the site where once was the famous mosque of the Kazan Khanate, which in the 16 th century the troops of Ivan the Terrible destroyed. The name of the mosque was in honor of the last Imam, who led the service in the ruined church. It is known that before the mosque had 8 minarets, no other Muslim temple on earth had such a number.
Tower Syuyumbike This tower is considered to be the pearl of the Kazan Kremlin. It has seven storeys and is built of red brick. Residents of Kazan associate the name of the tower with the name of the Tatar tsarina Syuyumbike. In the 18 th century it served as a watchtower. In its architecture closely intertwined elements of Russian and Tatar architecture of that time. In the last century the tower was repeatedly reconstructed, and today the Muslim adhan (call to prayer) is read here. The Syuyumbike Tower refers to the architectural monuments of Kazan, as a historical and cultural value of the Tatar people.
Mardzhani Mosque The construction of this mosque began in 1767. It happened after the visit of Empress Catherine to Kazan. Residents complained to the queen that they had no opportunity to conduct divine services. Catherine the Great was distinguished for her tolerance for various faiths and gave an order to the governor of Kazan not to interfere with the construction of the mosque. On the donations of the inhabitants, the Marjani Mosque was built, the first religious Muslim structure since the time of Kazan's capture by Ivan Terrible. During the Soviet period, Mardzhani was the only mosque in Kazan.
Thank you for attention!
