Ryazan is often depicted as an emblem with cathedral domes, but this city is more multifaceted. Everything is intertwined here: the capital of the Airborne Forces and “mushrooms with eyes”, Yesenin and Pavlov, the ancient Kremlin and the “Golden Egg”. A tangled history and monuments that were demolished and re-erected, renamed and returned names. And Ryazan is not exactly Ryazan, but Pereyaslavl Ryazan.

1. Historical Ryazan is a small ancient military city that was destroyed back in 1237. Then the Tatars raged here - and during the raid of Batu Khan, the then capital was destroyed and Pereyaslavl Ryazan became the main city. It was he who, by decree of Catherine II, was renamed Ryazan, in memory of the rich and glorious historical past. And the real former capital is now called Old Ryazan.

2. Over several centuries the city grew, the population increased to more than 500 thousand people.

3. In Ryazan, they take great care of landscaping - even under the USSR, the city received numerous awards for landscaping. This is clearly visible from above - there are really a lot of trees and green areas in the city.

4. The Ryazan Kremlin is located on a steep hill, surrounded on one side by a river and on the other by a deep ditch. The walls on a steep hill are a powerful defensive fortification that no enemies could defeat.

5. The northern part of the Kremlin hill used to house the entire Pereyaslavl of Ryazan. Then the city began to grow and the Kremlin found itself on the outskirts.

6. Glebovsky Bridge is the main entrance to the Kremlin. Previously, this bridge was wooden and was raised in case of a siege, and in place of the bell tower there was the Glebov Tower - the main entrance to the Kremlin. The old bridge burned down in a fire, and then a powerful brick bridge with an arch was built.

7. On the territory of the Kremlin there is the Assumption Cathedral with a bell tower.

8. Previously, on the site of the cathedral there was a powder chamber - a storage facility for ammunition for the defense of the fortress. The cathedral was erected in two attempts - the first building collapsed due to incorrect calculations by the architect. But the second version has survived to this day, although in 1800 there were attempts to dismantle it due to its dilapidation. But local merchants raised funds and restored the building.

9. The Trubezhny backwater approaches the walls of the Kremlin, on which there is a landing stage with the Kremlevskaya pier. From here, pleasure boats depart for excursions along the Oka River to the Shumashin Islands or the bridge to Solotcha.

10. Initially, Lenin Square was called Khlebnaya Square - large shopping arcades were located here. When the square became the main trading platform of the city, it was renamed Novobazarnaya. Four streets diverge from the square: Sobornaya, Pochtovaya (pedestrian), Gorky and Pervomaisky Avenue.

11. A monument to Lenin appeared on the square on the site of a chapel that was demolished immediately after the revolution. The monument, by the way, was also demolished: in 1993 it was replaced with a large cross, then the symbols of Ryazan were installed in this place. But in 1997, by decision of the city government, the monument was restored to its original form.

12. Behind the Lenin monument, Pochtovaya Street begins - this is the Ryazan pedestrian Arbat. Pochtovaya was the main street back when Ryazan was called Pereyaslavl Ryazansky, and today it is one of the most popular places for tourists to walk. On the street there are preserved ancient merchant mansions, monuments, and pillars indicating the distances to Ryazan’s sister cities.

13. The square in front of the monument has original paving - the 19th century Ryazan development plan was transferred here.

14. The city is divided into 4 districts: Moskovsky, Zheleznodorozhny, Oktyabrsky and Sovetsky (center). There are several large factories operating in Ryazan: aircraft repair, instrumentation, machine tool, and combine production.

15. The hotel and restaurant complex "Old City" is among the TOP 20 best hotels in Russia.

16. The “Old Town” is located on a hill and the builders took advantage of this advantage - some of the windows overlook a large green park, and on the territory there is even a small waterfall on an embankment of stones.

17. The hotel was built in 2022 and was called “Ryazan Holland” in the news. Not only tourists, but also local residents love to take pictures against the backdrop of these facades.

18. In 2022, the master development plan in Ryazan was edited - in order to solve the problem of traffic jams, they plan to expand the city. Most likely - to the southwest, in the opposite direction from the Oka.

19. Administration of the city of Ryazan. This building formerly housed the provincial zemstvo government. The building itself was built in 1916.

20. Previously, on the site of Svoboda Street there was the Vladimirsky tract, on which there were many merchant buildings, but according to the new urban plan of Catherine II, everything changed - the territory was purchased, the hills and ravines were removed. The street is located in the very center, the land here was very expensive, but merchants willingly bought it for their homes.

21. Ryazan Regional Philharmonic. Initially, there was a summer wooden stage on this site, then a large theater with an open veranda. Today it is a full-fledged philharmonic society with its own permanent staff. In the park in front of the building there is a monument to I.P. Pavlov - the same one who became famous thanks to his experiments with animal reflexes. In 2022, a new art object appeared behind the monument - a forged piano.

22. Upper City Garden (Natasha Park). They say that the name comes from the name of a revolutionary, the daughter of a lawyer - a square appeared on the site of their house, which later grew into a large city park.

23. In 2022, the park was restored - rounded lines of paths, new benches, flower beds, and lighting appeared.

24. Lenin Street used to be part of the trade route between Moscow and Astrakhan, therefore it was called Astrakhan Street. After the revolution, it was renamed Sovetskaya, then Lenin Street. This is one of the streets in the central part of the city; there are many ancient buildings and architectural monuments here.

25. Lenin Street ends at the Ryazan State Regional Drama Theater. At one time, the theater was considered one of the leading theaters in Russia - it was here that the premiere of the comedy “The Inspector General” took place. The old drama theater was located on Cathedral Square, but in 1962 it moved to a new building on Teatralnaya Square.

26. The sketch of the bas-relief panel on the pediment of the drama theater was developed by the Ryazan painter K. K. Shelkovenko.

27. The Oka floods every year and floods the suburban area, so the city was not formed by a circular increase in diameter, but grew in one direction. As a result, the Kremlin ended up not in the center, but in the northeastern part of the city.

28. The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is also called the Nikolo-Yamskaya Church. The temple was built from bricks from another church, which was located in the Oka flood zone. The temple was moved almost entirely - bricks and stones, the iconostasis, and utensils were moved during construction. After the revolution, church valuables were confiscated, and the temple was used for a long time as a warehouse for vegetables and even as a brewery building. The temple was reopened only in 1996.

29. The Trubezh River runs through the northern part of the city and flows into the Oka, and the Trubezhny backwater approaches almost the walls of the Kremlin. This is a navigable backwater where pleasure boats sail. And 100 years ago, during the river flood, there was a full-flowing city harbor with merchant ships and fishing boats.

30. Power line support in the form of a parachute and airplanes. The largest monument to the Russian Airborne Forces. The city is considered the capital of the Russian Airborne Forces - it is here that the only higher Airborne School in the country is located. And even City Day in the last few years has been celebrated simultaneously with Airborne Forces Day.

31. This is the largest emblem of the Airborne Forces in the world, it is included in the Russian Book of Records. The height and width of the emblem is 35 meters, and the parachute weighs 90 tons.

32. The Central Sports Complex was built as a reserve arena for the 1980 Olympics. It was not used for the main games of the Olympics, but qualification tests were held here. Now the stadium operates as the main sports ground for mass sporting events.

33. Stele "St. George the Victorious" on the square of the 60th anniversary of the Victory.

34. The Ryazan Circus has been operating since 1971. Many famous artists came here - Nikulin, Zapashnye, Kuklachev, Karandash. The building was erected in just a year, but it is a full-fledged circus with two arenas - for rehearsals and performances.

35. Lybidsky Boulevard runs along the bed of the Lybid River - it flows through an underground sewer directly under the street. This is a walking area along which you can walk from the circus building to Lenin Street.
