Kazan is one of richest Russian cities in attractions. The main historical symbol of the city is the Kazan Kremlin. This architectural complex includes constructions of the 12th-20th centuries. It is unique because its exterior amazingly combines Western and Eastern traditions. Near the Orthodox temple, you can see an incredibly beautiful mosque. There is the Turkic tower near luxurious mansions in European style. It is just impossible to look over all the Kremlin attractions in just one day.
Another interesting attraction is the Temple of All Religions. This religious monument has a lot of architectural peculiarities. The author of this unusual temple’s project was the humanist Ildar Hasanov. He managed to create the project of the temple that combines 16 confessions. The construction is a difficult asymmetrical complex with domes and towers in all the colors of the rainbow. On the facade, you can see windows of different shape and size, arches, and other unusual decorative elements. Since its construction, no religious events have been held in this temple. It has only an architectural value.
The Palace of Farmers has a special value among architectural monuments of Kazan. With its exterior, it resembles luxurious palaces built in the period between the 18th-19th centuries in Italy.
