Orenburg webcam online broadcasts a view of the intersection of Transportnaya Street and Pobedy Avenue.
The lens covers the road junction from the height of a multi-storey building, as well as adjacent sidewalks, parking lots, buildings. In this area of the city there is a large Berezka Park, a hostel, supermarkets, a utility service and other urban infrastructure facilities.
The architecture of Orenburg, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, covers many historical periods and national traditions.
Here you can find examples of modern and Stalinist Empire architecture, Eastern and European traditions.
One of the most interesting objects of the city is the stunning building of the House of Soviets. The huge five-storey building, made in the style of the Stalinist Empire, was built in 1940. On the square near its harsh but solemn walls, all kinds of holidays were held, as well as parades.
The House of Soviets was built on the site of the Kazan Cathedral, which for a long time was considered the largest Orthodox church in Russia.
It stood for almost 40 years, but by the decision of the Soviet government, they decided to get rid of the building.
According to one of the city legends, the clergy, who learned about the intentions of the authorities to demolish the cathedral, moved the most valuable artifacts to secret dungeons, which were subsequently walled up.
According to some reports, underground labyrinths pass through almost the entire central part of Orenburg, connecting important urban objects and buildings. It is claimed that the dungeons were built during the existence of the first fortress, in the middle of the XVIII century, in order to deliver weapons, as well as food to local residents in the event of a siege.
Another interesting architectural monument, which, like the House of Soviets, is located on the local "Arbat" – Sovetskaya Street, is the Tower with chimes.
The object was erected relatively recently, in 1997, and its appearance resembles a Lutheran church. The highlight of the object is the clockwork mechanism, where at certain hours various symbols – Pushkin, soldier, Cossack, a pukhovnitsa craftswoman and others - come out of the doors under the dial to greet the townspeople.
Every hour will be marked by the melodious chime of bells, which are located under a bright green roof and reproduce melodies familiar to many. This is the anthem of the city, as well as a song about the "Orenburg down shawl" and "Farewell of the Slavs". There are others. And the direction of the wind will always be indicated by an elegant weather vane-a bird on the roof of an unusual tower.
For those who have not yet managed to visit these places in person, it is recommended to watch Orenburg webcams online.
