The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.

The Battle of Kursk is one of the largest and most decisive battles in the history of the Second World War. It was here that, at the cost of thousands of lives, Soviet troops managed to reverse the rapid advance of the Germans. A memorial complex in honor of this important event was opened in Kursk on the 55th anniversary of the Victory. Elements of the ensemble occupy an area of ​​600 m². The Kursk Bulge consists of a museum-monument, an obelisk, a triumphal arch, a model of a fighter plane, the Eternal Flame, a chapel, a mass grave and recreated artillery points from which the riflemen fired. At the entrance to the complex there is a T-34 tank on a pedestal and a monument to Soviet tank crews.

The central city square, on the site of which there used to be a 17th-century fortress, residential buildings and the Resurrection Cathedral, destroyed by fire in 1781. The modern appearance of the square took shape in the 19th century; subsequently it changed significantly due to the fact that many buildings were erected around it during Soviet times. Many of these houses are today classified as architectural monuments.

An Orthodox church in a classical style, erected in honor of the victory in the Patriotic War of 1812. The building is very reminiscent of European cathedrals of the Renaissance - the same monumental dimensions, a huge round dome, symmetrical proportions and an entrance portal supported by columns. During the Soviet years, the building was converted into a cinema, after some work was done on its appearance. After the return of the Russian Orthodox Church, the cathedral was reconstructed.

The stone structure was erected in 1768, 20 years later it received the status of the main city temple. The church is a building with classical and baroque elements. An octagon with a dome topped with a cross rises above the main building in the form of a rectangle. The window openings are decorated with stucco elements. As a result of the latest restoration, the church was painted a pleasant pink color.

An 18th-century temple, built in the luxurious Elizabethan Baroque style, presumably by one of the representatives of the architectural school of B. Rastrelli. The building resembles a magnificent palace with orderly rows of wide windows, classical columns and decorative pilasters placed on the facade. In the center there is a 4-tier bell tower with a spire, on the side there is a two-story quadrangle with a domed roof. The entrance is designed in the form of a Greek portico.

Catholic church of the late 19th century, built in the neo-Gothic style. During the period 1938–97 the temple was not functioning. During Soviet times, most of the original decoration was destroyed, and all valuables were confiscated. Later, the building was adapted into a museum of atheism and a warehouse. After the building was returned to the Catholic community, it was restored and it once again began to shine with its magnificent architecture.

A convent believed to have been founded in the 17th century. Until 1680, all its buildings were wooden, until they were destroyed by fire. The first stone church was founded in 1895. The monastery houses several miraculous icons of the Mother of God, as well as the relics of saints and saints of God. During Soviet times, the community was dissolved, but in the 1990s, the complex, which had become very dilapidated due to lack of proper maintenance, was returned to the believers.

This is the only surviving building of that era that can be seen in Kursk. The collection consists of archaeological finds discovered in the Kursk region.

The Kursk Drama Stage is one of the oldest in Russia - it was founded in 1792. During its existence, the theater has replaced several buildings. Today it is located in a building built in 1983. The name of A. S. Pushkin was given to the stage in 1937 in honor of the poet’s 100th anniversary. Today, performances are held in large and small halls, the repertoire consists of classical works and modern plays.

The city art gallery has a worthy collection that puts it on a par with Moscow art museums. The exhibition halls display works by European artists of the 16th–21st centuries, works of Russian masters, sculptures, and objects of decorative and applied art. The gallery's collection has taken part in international and all-Russian opening days many times.

The institution was founded in 1944, but individual puppet shows, organized by a group of enthusiastic actors, have been staged in Kursk since 1935. Since 1965, the stage has been located in the building of a former girls' gymnasium, built in the 1820s.

Klykov, who was the author of many famous monuments. The sculpture is made in the form of a giant apple weighing 150 kg and 2 meters high (the sculpture is hollow inside). The iron fruit is completely similar to the real one.

At various times, in addition to the Assembly of the Nobility, the Workers' Palace, the House of Officers, the Railwaymen's Club, and a museum were located on its territory.

The building, which today houses the Main Directorate of the Central Bank for the Kursk Region, was erected in 1913. It was built for the Peasant Land Bank. The unusual and picturesque mansion is an example of the eclectic style with predominant Moorish motifs, as if it had miraculously moved to Kursk from the expanses of Spanish Andalusia. After a major renovation, the building became a decoration of the city.

The city railway station was opened in 1868. The modern building was erected in the 1950s according to the design of I. G. Yavein. The building was built in the monumental Stalinist Empire style. The central façade, in a rich red color, is decorated with heavy stucco, above the main entrance arch there is the coat of arms of the USSR, as well as figures of soldiers and workers. There are memorial plaques on the rear façade facing the tracks.

The mansion was erected in the 19th century for a famous Russian nobleman, Count A.I. Nelidov, who served as head of the Kursk province. A picturesque park with artificial ponds and apple orchards was organized around the estate. Nowadays, the “Moscow” sanatorium is located on the estate, which is engaged in the maintenance and spot restoration of the architectural monument.
