The capital of the Republic of Mari El is Yoshkar-ola, a city with 400 years of history. Even during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the fortress of Tsarevokokshaisk was founded on the lands reclaimed from the Tatars on the banks of the Malaya Kokshaga River. Over time, having lost its strategic position, it turned into a quiet county town, in the context of Russian literature referred to as a bear's corner. In Soviet times, the city received the name Yoshkar-Ola, and with it - the status of the capital.

Over the past decades, Yoshkar-Ola has become prettier, built up, it has its own bright style, for which it was called the capital of architectural fakes. As if by magic, a brand new Kremlin, its Bavarian castles, the Doge's Palace and the Bruges Embankment, a small corner of Northern Europe in the Middle Volga region, arose here. And here's the thing a large number of monuments per capita - to kings, emperors, writers, happy family and even Yoshka's cat.

How to get to Yoshkar-Ola

Every 3 hours, to the sound of music, figures of Christ and the 12 apostles appear on its balcony, depicting the biblical scene of the Entry into Jerusalem.

Two pedestrian bridges thrown across the river connect the Bruges Embankment and Voskresenskaya Embankment with the brand new Cathedral of the Annunciation, in which you can easily guess the St. Petersburg Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. To the south of it is a small piece of Holland - Amsterdam Embankment, where local artists like to gather. And to the north - already Moscow with the Spasskaya Tower, a monument to Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich and its own Kremlin, erected in 2009 on the site of the wooden fort of Tsarevokokshaisk. All finds discovered during its construction - weapons, coins, jewelry, are collected in the archaeological museum in one of the Kremlin towers.

In addition to paintings, his expositions folk costume, Mari embroidery and decorations. Every hour the doors under the clock on the tower are thrown open, and a figure of a donkey and the image of the icon of the Three-handed Mother of God appear.
