What to see in Smolensk
The city of Smolensk is a regional center, albeit not as large as the rest of the centers of the regions, but ancient, this is unique.
History of Smolensk begins in the middle of the 9th century, when the first settlement was strategically successfully located on the banks of the full-flowing Dnieper River. It was so profitably located on the trade routes that the principalities of Kiev, Moscow, and Lithuania wanted to seize and subjugate it. I must say, they succeeded, albeit in different centuries, but thus, ancient Smolensk passed “from hand to hand”.
Being very close to the western borders of the country, he constantly defended the capital from enemies: in the 17th century the Poles went through him, in 1812 – Napoleon with his army, the Nazis in 1941.
The city of Smolensk is equally close to Moscow and Minsk, the capital of Belarus, so the way to the west runs through it.
Smolensk Fortress
As we already know, the city has always been a kind of shield from enemies from the west, and in ancient times the main defensive structures were fortresses. There is one in Smolensk, originally built in the 16th century under Ivan the Terrible, later it was replaced by a stone one, but even that could not withstand the pressure of the French army in 1812. In general, little remained of the city at that time, but by the 20th century they were able to restore more than half of the wall with 17 towers. If we compare the two Kremlins – Smolensk and Moscow, the “capital” is much smaller in length of the wall. Each tower of the Smolensk fortress has a unique design and name.
Paying tribute to ancient history, in our time in the fortress placed a very interesting museum “Smolensk – shield of Russia”
Assumption Cathedral of Smolensk
One of the most beautiful and bright cathedrals of the city, and there are a lot of them here, was a symbol and landmark on the Cathedral Hill. It was built at the end of the 17th century on the site of the temple destroyed by the Poles. The cathedral stands on a hill not alone, but surrounded by a bell tower, chambers, temples – a whole ensemble in the beautiful Baroque style. It is impossible to be there and not admire the 30-meter carved iconostasis of the 18th century, unique in its performance.
Take the time, climb the Cathedral Mountain and see not only the majestic temples, but also the picturesque views of the surrounding area.
Historical and architectural complex “Teremok”
Once lived in Smolensk famous patrons of Tenishev, who invested family savings not only in the culture of the city, but also the country. According to tradition, talented people of our time – musicians and artists, loved to stay in the estate of the Tenishevs in the village of Talashkino, so later the estate became a kind of art center, a gallery with work, known even abroad.
The house is bizarre in architecture, bright colors really resembles the fabulous Teremok and belongs to the Smolensk Museum – Reserve. Here Vrubel, Repin wrote their works, performed musical works chaliapin and Stravinsky.
Museum “Smolensk flax”
You can learn about how and when the smolensk land appeared in this museum. It has existed for 40 years and works in the Smolensk fortress, in one of the towers. In the region, climatic conditions were ideal for flax to grow, and in ancient times all the locals weaved clothes from natural materials. What models were before and what produces now you will also see in the museum.
Museum “Smolensk region during the Great Patriotic War”
Without a doubt, this is the most visited museum of the city, the theme of the Great Patriotic War is reflected in every building of the city, in the fate of almost every family, the whole region suffered greatly from fascism and has not yet restored the number of pre-war civilians. The exposition of the museum is located in a very interesting building, outwardly resembling the towers of the fortress. Like many buildings of the city, it was destroyed by the Germans, but by the end of the war it was already restored, in the 1970s a rich museum exposition was placed here:
- household items;
- military uniforms;
- Awards
- trophies from Germany;
- military equipment of the war.
Memorial “Katyn”
Not far from the city, in the forest, there is a memorial that became “evidence” of the most terrible events of the Soviet era: the shooting of thousands of Polish officers.
In memory of our history, even the most sinister, and created this memorial more than 20 years ago.
Smolensk land is our history, culture and pride. You can find out what you did not know about these places before after staying here for a few days, and for a comfortable stay choose the best for yourself – spa – hotel “Veranda”. Guests are always welcome here!
