Pyatigorsk is the pearl of the North Caucasus, the oldest balneological and mud resort of Russia in the composition of the Caucasian Mineral Waters in the Stavropol Territory. Located in the central part of Ciscaucasia, between the Black and Caspian Seas, at the foot of Mount Mashuk.

For the rare variety of mineral springs concentrated in one place and in a small area (around Mashuk Mountain), Pyatigorsk received the status of a "natural mineral water museum."

In the city are the tops of five mountains (and where else does this name come from?): Mashuk (994 m above sea level) with a spur Hot (558 m), Dubrovka (690 m), Kazachka (633 m), Picket (565 m) ) and Post (555 m). These are the main peaks, without taking into account the small spurs and elevations. And the highest point in the vicinity of the city is Mount Beshtau (1401 m), with the top of which offers a fantastic view of the resort and the mountain range of the Caucasus range.

Due to geographical features, the city is divided into almost isolated areas: the lower (western) part with residential quarters and industrial enterprises and the upper (eastern), where the main resort and balneological centers are located.

Modern Pyatigorsk is even larger and occupies a place on both sides of the Podkumok river. The city is honorably called not only a famous resort, but also a city-museum.

History of Pyatigorsk

As evidenced by archaeological excavations, the area in Pyatigorsk district has been inhabited since ancient times. And all the nationalities enjoyed the richness of natural mineral waters with pleasure - this is evidenced by the once-bathed baths in the travertines of the Hot Mountain near the sources. Then the Circassians took over the riches of the region, and the mention of the Bish-dag (five mountains) area with hot springs appeared in the records of the famous Arab traveler of the 14th century. Ibn Batuta.

The official date of the founding of the city is 1780, when the Constantine fortress was erected. Near it there was a village for members of families of retired soldiers. Soon the unusual properties of the local water became known far beyond the region, and Pyatigorsk began to come to the treatment almost from the whole country. To protect the holidaymakers in the area of ​​the Hot Mountain, the Pyatigorsk Redoubt was created - the settlement was called Hot Waters, and after 1830 it was renamed the Imperial Decree to Pyatigorsk.

But only in 1803 Pyatigorsk began the official history of the resort city: in April, the Alexander I Rescript "On Recognition of the State Importance of the Caucasian Mineral Waters and the Need for their Arrangement" was signed. And the region flourished in 1816-1827. - during the command of the troops of the Separate Caucasian Corps General A.P. Ermolov, in honor of which the Ermolov baths were named and a magnificent garden was laid.

In the future the city grew, the resort area developed, and in 1920 the first Balneological Institute was built here.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Pyatigorsk

Pyatigorsk is famous for its natural beauties and historical sights. For fans of breathtaking scenery walks along the mountain Mashuk. Mashuk forest park is transferred to the state nature protection zone of the Beshtagorsky forest park: pine, oak and birch are neighbors, and in the autumn the slopes of the mountains are alder from the dogwood, hawthorn, dog rose, mountain ash and barberry. From the slopes of the mountain opens a delightful panorama of the Caucasian ridge. Beautiful views open up the mountain on a cable car.

Among the main attractions are also noted: hotel "Bristol", ensemble "Pushkin Baths", Lazarevskaya church. In the central square of the city there is an ancient fountain "Gnomes" with grottoes. For the colorful appearance of these dwarves, local residents respectfully nicknamed him simply "grandfathers."

A separate mention is deserved by the famous Failure (never repaired since the Great Combinator) - a collapsed rock grotto with a small lake at the bottom.

A curious place is the Pushkin, Ermolov and Pirogov baths. Next to them is the Elizabethan flower garden, which does not leave any visitor indifferent. The sculpture of the eagle, the symbol of Pyatigorsk, deserves special attention. Pyatigorsk also argues with Kislovodsk for the role of the main Lermontov seat, the city in which the action took place in Princess Mary and in other stories of the "Hero of Our Time."

About the great Russian poet Lermontov in Pyatigorsk recalls every stone. According to the testimony of contemporaries, it was this place that restored the ill poet's health and the desire to live. By an evil coincidence, this same place took his life from him. In Pyatigorsk you can visit the place of his duel and his grave, as well as the dedicated M.Yu. Lermontov Museum and the house where he lived.

Lermontovsky Pyatigorsk

Lermontov's name is inextricably linked with the history of Pyatigorsk: he visited here as a child, lived during the exile to the Caucasus, wrote well-known works "The Prophet", "I walk out alone for the road" and died here tragically. Not surprisingly, there are so many places in the city connected with Mikhail Yurievich.

It is worth to visit the museum "Lermontov's Cottage" (4 Lermontov Street, by tram or bus to the stop "Tsvetnik", then on foot up the Andzhievsky street), on the basis of which in 1973 the State Museum-Reserve M. Yu. Lermontov was created . It includes the oldest quarter of Pyatigorsk, as well as Lermontov's places in Kislovodsk and Zheleznovodsk.

In the park named after Lermontov there is a monument to the poet, whose author is the famous sculptor Opekushin, the creator of the monument to Pushkin in Moscow. Also interesting is the house of the Versilins, where Major-General Versilin's family lived and often the youth gathered. In the evening of July 13, 1841, Lermontov's quarrel with Martynov occurred here, in the drawing room, which served as an occasion for a duel. In the house of the Versilins the exposition "Lermontov in the Caucasus", including historical documents, autographs of the poet, his paintings and drawings, is deployed.

Lermontovskie baths (formerly Nikolaevsky, Kirov avenue, 21) - one of the oldest health resorts in Russia. During the first reference to the Caucasus, the poet wrote to a friend: "Having caught cold, I came to the waters all in rheumatism; people in the cart carried me out, I could not walk - in a month they completely corrected the water ... "And also many places mentioned in Princess Mary: the gazebo" Aeolian harp ", the Elizabethan gallery and the spring, the grotto of Lermontov (who was so nicknamed already after the death of the poet).

And many other interesting places: the former Restaurant building (Kirova Avenue, 30), the southern slope of Mashuk Mountain - the "Failure", the Grotto of Diana, the place of the duel (the foot of Mashuk Mountain) and the place of the original burial of Lermontov (the old cemetery).
