Sights of Naberezhnye Chelny: photos, descriptions, addresses

Naberezhnye Chelny, which grew up on the site of a small village founded by peasants from Yelabuga, is the only competitor to Tolyatti for the right to be called Russian Detroit. Until the last third of the last century, it was an unremarkable polis, which received city status in 1930. Everything changed in the early 70s, when it was decided to build the Kama Automobile Plant here. In just the next twenty years, the population of Naberezhnye Chelny grew almost 15 times, reaching 500 thousand people. Reliable and practical KAMAZ trucks, rolling off the assembly line of the city-forming enterprise with chronometric punctuality, brought worldwide fame to the policy. Today's Naberezhnye Chelny is not only the most important industrial cluster of the Volga region, but also a significant cultural, educational and tourist center. Any traveler will be interested in visiting here.

Address: st. Central, 6. Transport stop "Central Street".

On the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the Islamization of the Bulgarian Kingdom, the Muslims of Naberezhnye Chelny received a wonderful gift - the magnificent Taubu Cathedral Mosque. The temple complex, which immediately became one of the symbols of the Volga city, is truly impressive. Above the central portal of the structure, covered with a multi-pitched roof, rises a 53-meter minaret tower. The facade of the building is decorated with multicolor stained glass windows covering the light openings, calligraphic inscriptions in Arabic script, and carved marble vignettes. The area around the mosque is surrounded by a fence consisting of an interlacing of openwork elements made of cast steel. The modern brick building of the mosque is faced with light limestone tiles, contrasting with the dark polished marble of the basement decor.

Tower "Skullcap"

Address: 2nd complex, 18. Transport stop “Boulevard of Enthusiasts”.

The townspeople consider the only local skyscraper “2.18” to be the most extravagant calling card of Naberezhnye Chelny. The tower received its popular name “Skullcap” for the external similarity of the upper tier to the traditional headdress of Asian peoples. The height of the 24-story building is 81 meters. It has risen above Entuziastov Avenue since 2005. A convenient observation deck is equipped on the roof of the high-rise building, which houses the offices of numerous republican and federal companies. From here you have magnificent panoramic views of the city.

Boulevard of Enthusiasts

Address: pedestrian zone between H. Tufan Avenue and st. Academician Rubanenko.

Entuziastov Boulevard is rightfully considered an iconic landmark of Naberezhnye Chelny. The main city promenade is decorated with flower beds and sculptural compositions in the avant-garde style, which are the hallmark of the Volga region city. There are comfortable benches for relaxation along the alleys. There are also many fountains, the most original of which is the futuristic “Evolution”. It is especially pleasant to walk along the boulevard in spring, when numerous flower beds are covered with a carpet of bright inflorescences. The promenade looks especially interesting in the evenings. With the onset of darkness, the illumination and illumination of the sculptures turn on, filling the surroundings with mysterious romance.

Monument to V. Vysotsky

Address: V. Vysotsky Square. Transport stop "Bank".

It is in Naberezhnye Chelny that the most massive monument to the wonderful poet, singer, and actor Vladimir Vysotsky was erected. The sculptural composition is very original. This is not a classical statue, not a bust, not a bas-relief. The half-bell, half-guitar-shaped sculpture is poignant. The creation of the sculptor V. Nesterenko surprisingly accurately personifies the rebellious soul of the people's favorite. Its strings, stretched to breaking point, could be soulfully lyrical and turn into a menacing alarm bell. This amazing monument, which has been decorating the city since 2005, is considered the most popular art object in Chelny.

Monument "Motherland"

Address: intersection of M. Jalil Avenue and st. Batenchuk. Transport stop “Studencheskaya” or “Ulitsa Batenchuk”.

The Chelny Memorial “Motherland”, inaugurated on May 9, 1975, is considered one of the most unique monuments to the heroes of the Second World War in the country. The bold compositional decision of the sculptor I. Khanov, who avoided stereotypes, then caused serious controversy among art critics and even criticism from the party leadership of the republic. The author depicted a non-traditional figure of a grieving woman. He made the many-faced Phoenix bird a symbol of the Mother. Under her wings she brings to rebirth the images of soldiers who died on the war fronts. The torch of the Eternal Flame burns in front of the sculpture, and the composition is completed by a stele with the names of the heroes who gave their lives for their Motherland on the battlefields.

City Hall building

Address: H. Tufan Avenue, 23. Transport stop "Center".

Walking along Azaltyk Square, you can admire a wonderful monument of Soviet architecture. The building, which now houses the city administration, is an excellent example of constructivism in architecture. It impresses with its size, scale, proportionality, and looks very solemn. The creation of the architect E. Grishinchuk, commissioned in 1987, is deservedly on the list of the main attractions of Naberezhnye Chelny.

Monument to G. Tukay

Address: square named after. G. Tukay. Transport stop "Ulitsa Ershova".

Gabdulla Tukay is one of the most famous Tatar poets and publicists.

These fairy-tale heroes are adored by all the children of Tatarstan.

Ice Sports Palace

Address: Syuyumbike Avenue, 44. Transport stop “Ice Palace”.

In addition, LDS is also the main concert venue in Naberezhnye Chelny, capable of accommodating 1,500 spectators at a time. The skating rink is available not only to professional athletes. Anyone can skate here, brought with them or rented, by paying 160 rubles for an adult one-hour ticket, and 80 rubles for a child’s ticket.

Fountain at the KAMAZ cultural center

Transport stop "KDK KAMAZ".

There are quite a lot of colorful fountains in Chelny embankment, but one of them has won the special love of the townspeople. This is a hydraulic engineering composition, opened simultaneously with the commissioning of the KAMAZ recreation center in the 70s of the last century. The building really looks impressive. Jets of water shoot out from the nozzles of dozens of tubes mounted on a high multi-component stele and forming a sphere. Myriads of tiny splashes create a halo over the fountain’s bowl, lined with granite, bringing coolness in the summer heat.

Memorial to them. Musa Jalil

Address: park named after. M. Jalil. Transport stop "Universam".

The opening of a memorial complex in the city, named after the famous Tatar poet, was timed to coincide with the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the great Victory. Musa Jalil, who volunteered for the front in 1941, even after being captured, continued to fight the enemy with all his might, for which he was executed by the Nazis. For the people of Tatarstan, the poet, who was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, is a symbol of courage, perseverance, and self-denial in the name of the Motherland. The monument to Jalil is solemn and ascetic at the same time. A bas-relief depicting the poet’s face connects two steles lined with marble.
