Culture of Anapa. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces

The city is one of the oldest on the Black Sea coast, and therefore there are a lot of historical and architectural monuments, as well as museums, which will be interesting for fans of excursions to visit. The most important attraction is the "Saint Onufry temple", the oldest temple of the Kuban. A church was built in 1829 in honor of the victory over the Turks. It is distinguished by its impressive size and unique architectural style. Another curious monument of the times of the Russian-Turkish war can be considered to be "the gate of the Turkish fortress", which dates back to the 18th century. The name at the gate is rather unusual - "the Russians". The fortress itself was built by the Turks as far back as 1783, but the gates were renamed when the Russian troops liberated the city from the Turkish conquerors.

"Anapa Museum of Local History" is very interesting; its collection is literally unique. Among its exhibits are everyday objects, ancient weapons, as well as interesting photographic materials directly related to the history and culture of the city. "Anapa Archaeological Museum-Reserve" was founded on the site of the ancient city of Gorgippia. This is an amazingly interesting open-air museum; visitors can stroll through the picturesque lanes of the ancient city. The old road, the ruins of centuries-old buildings and religious buildings were perfectly preserved, and in the pavilions were stored priceless finds of archaeologists.

Couples in love will be interested to walk along the "Alley of Love". This is an ideal place for romantic meetings, located away from the noisy discos and lively areas. Here couples in love come to enjoy the noise of the sea and admire the stars. For those who love nature will be especially interesting "Lermontov arbor". It is located on the slope of the mountain, near the village of Bolshoy Utrish. It is believed that the poet loved to spend time here and it was here that he wrote several chapters of the "A Hero of Our Time". Fans of theatrical art will not be boring in Anapa. There is a Drama Theater and the City Theater, which locals and tourists like to visit. Representations in theaters, as a rule, take place at absolute sold-out. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
