The amazing city of Alatyr, in which the tourist finds himself most likely by chance or by travel, in fact deserves the most that neither is on the spotlight . And immediately because of the two "because" . Firstly, this is a real Orthodox center The Volga region and the center of Russian culture in Chuvashia . And it's not just words: in such a small city they operate, live their bright life and are filled with parishioners at once 15 temples . Secondly, Alatyr boasts a unique geographical location: strictly in the middle between Saransk , Cheboksary and Ulyanovskiy . Moreover, until the 20th century the city was considered the center of the intersection of the cultures of Mordovia, Chuvashia, Nizhny Novgorod Province . Alas, today, there is little left of its former glorious grandeur in Alatyr, but this does not detract from its merits . At today this county town, honoring its ancestors and rich cultural traditions, is attractive just for its provinciality, bringing peace and peace of mind .

The paragraph of history
Alatyr can boast a rich and an interesting story: the city was built on the picturesque bank of the Sura River by the decree of Ivan Grozny . The purpose of building the city in such wild at that time is quite common: to protect Moscow from the Kazan Tatars in 1552 . By the way, due to the fact that the Alatyr fortress was erected on the site of the Bulgarian city of Senber, many locals still called the city in the Chuvash manner Champion . Until the 18th century, Alatyr was considered an important stronghold in the south of Russia, then became a prominent trading center of the country .

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Alatyr
The history of the city, counting almost five centuries, simply could not help but to leave behind a large number of monuments and attractions . So it happened: if you look at the boring statistics, you can see quite impressive figures - about 90 buildings and structures with historical and cultural value . And two of them are considered monuments of the federal values . But the view of the traditional wooden architecture of the city is especially pleasing to the eyes, tired of the sight of large megacities . Local architecture and the traditions of artistic woodworking, coupled with the stylistic methods of classicism, modernity a, eclectic, gave Alatyr rare beauty and color of the ensemble of old streets and lanes .
Of course, the most popular sights of the city are its temples , for which Alatyr was nicknamed the "Orthodox center of the Volga region" . This is the Cathedral of the Beheading of the head of John the Baptist (1703), and the Nikolo-Znamenskaya church in the style of classicism (1770), and the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1747) . Noteworthy built in pseudo-Russian style Kazan (Pyatnitskaya) tse which today, alas, is in an emergency condition . It is worth to visit the Holy Trinity Monastery, known in Rus from 1584 g . Another monastery of Alatyr - Kiev-Mykolaiv Novodevichy, which was founded in the distant 1639 g . I must say that this is not all the wealth of the religious architecture of the city, but it's time to move to civil buildings . For example, the building of the Treasury of the middle of the 19th century, the houses of the merchant Popov (the end of the 19th century, . Kirov, 1) and the merchant Antonova (st . Gorshenina, 28) .
There could not have been a building of the Noble Assembly in the city - now the cinema "Pate". Look to the printing house of SF Rodionov (1882) and the building of the real school of the late 19th century. Finally, look at the former inn (1908), in which, in Soviet times, there was a canteen with the romantic name "No. 2".
