Krasnodar– it is a wonderful city in the Kuban region, its administrative, cultural, economic and tourist center. It is surprisingly warm, welcoming atmosphere, unique architecture, cheerful mood, and some special charm to make you come back here again. The city was founded by the Cossacks of the Kuban before the revolution, there was a Cossack settlement, which was called Ekaterinodar. The inhabitants lived in simple huts with watch towers and the town itself was hidden by dense forest thickets. Some of the historic buildings preserved in Krasnodar today. The modern town has a large number of museums, monuments, spacious parks, and of course the beautiful temples. A magnificent example of religious architecture is the Church of the Nativity, built at the end of the last century with money taken from donations. When the temple was built the first Church school in the Kuban. In the bell tower of the temple is a huge bell, weighing 450 kg, on which are carved the names of everyone who contributed material resources for its production. Another beautiful temple, airy look which fits perfectly into the architectural ensemble of the city is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, built on the site of a wooden resurrection Cathedral, built by the Cossacks. The construction was deployed in the military money in the eve of the Crimean war of 1853 and was completed only in 1872. This Cathedral is famous in the region, thanks to the valuable relics that were stored within its walls, and also the Cossack Church choir. Unfortunately, the original building was looted and destroyed by the Soviet authorities. The temple was completely stopped in 2006. A reminder of the miraculous salvation of the Royal family during a train derailment became Catherine's Cathedral, a stunning sight with its graphic appearance. This temple also came to the ruin and desolation during the reign of the Soviets. From total destruction, it was saved only by strong walls. On the eve of the great Victory over fascism, after the liberation of Krasnodar from the German occupiers, in the Cathedral services were renewed. Another building associated with the Royal family is Alexander's gate, erected as a gift to Emperor Alexander III, who came in 1888 with his family in Ekaterinodar. This monument was also note: vulnerable to destruction of the Bolsheviks, however, restored according to old photos in their original form in the XXI century.
