Rest in Ural

Yekaterinburg – the acknowledged center of the Urals.


     The place for the would-be city was found on the banks of the Iset River by Vasily Tatishchev, the Head of Mining Works. The unprecedented position of the city was further strengthened by its new glory as Yekaterinburg became a capital of the gold, gems and jewels, a kind of Russian «Eldorado». The Ural’s gold made Russia one of the most prominent gold-mining countries in the world.
The «Golden Age» (first half of the 19th century) drastically changed the city’s appearance: many gorgeous mansions, palaces and other buildings with exquisite facade and interior were erected at the time.
However, during the Civil War in the beginning of 20th century, the city’s economy was seriously damaged: the works and factories were closed. July 1918 saw the murder of the family of the last Russian Emperor. This act of atrocity took place in the so-called Ipatyev’s house on Vosnesenskaya Gorka (the Ascension Hill).

Neviansk

     Neviansk, situated near Nizhniy Tagil, was the first base of the Demidov family’s industrial works and the first city to grow up around the plant. It is famous for it’s landmark «Falling Tower» it should also be mentioned that Neviansk was one of the largest centers of old-believers of the Orthodox faith.

Verkhotooriye

   Verkhotooriye was one of the main points on the first road, known as Babinov^s Road, to Siberia. 300 years ago it was impotant as a Customs collection point, and each merchant crossing the Urals paid taxes to the Head of the City, the voivoda. Verkhotooriye is recognized as religious center, and is known for it’s cathedral, it’s monastery, Kremlin wall, and for the burial site of St. Simeon.

Nijniaya Siniachikha

Wooden
Nijniaya Siniachikha - Wooden art
     Between 1794 and 1824, talented archtects and artisans designed and constructed the Spaso-Preobrajenskaya church, perhaps one of the finest examples of religious structures in the Urals. Starting in 1979, wonderful Ural wooden structures, including churches, mills, barns, a sentry tower and a fireman,s tower, and rural log huts were carefully transported from other parts of the region to sites around the church. What has been created in NijniayaSiniacheekha, as a result of this effort, is a virtual show-piece of national creativity, displaying
genuine «pearls of national art» of the Urals.
