Watch Sterlitamak webcams online - Republic of Bashkortostan

The webcams of Sterlitamak, which this site offers to watch online, open the panorama of the large industrial center of Bashkortostan. The city is included in the powerful petrochemical agglomeration of the republic along with Salavat and Ishimbay.
Like all industrial centers, Sterlitamak is actively fighting the problem of environmental degradation in all possible ways. One of them is the enhanced landscaping of the territory, which has turned this city into a real oasis. In summer, the streets are buried in the greenery of a dense forest park zone, alleys and squares, and in winter, lush coniferous splendor reigns here.

The history of Sterlitamak goes back to the distant Middle Ages, when these lands were inhabited by the Finno-Ugric people - the Magyars.

In the 11th century, they were replaced by the Pechenegs and Bashkirs, and only by the 17th century did the fertile land pass into the possession of the Russian Empire. The date of foundation of the city is considered to be 1767, when a large pier for commodity barges was built on the Ashkadar River. Soon a small settlement grew up around the pier.
During the uprising of Emelyan Pugachev in 1773, the Sterlitamak pier was in the center of events - it was controlled by the rebels. From here, the national Bashkir hero Salavat Yulaev also led the rebels. After the suppression of the rebellion, distilleries and tanneries were built in the village, and only by 1781 Sterlitamak became a county town.
The oil fields discovered in the early 1930s gave a powerful impetus to the transformation of a quiet merchant town into an industrial center. During the Great Patriotic War, large machine-building enterprises were evacuated to Sterlitamak, which in the post-war years continued to develop along with oil refining, the extraction of caustic soda and rock salt. As a result, the city became the most important industrial center of the region, comparable in importance to Ufa, the capital of the republic.
However, the face of the city was not at all the dull landscapes of factory floors and smoking chimneys. This well-organized city is rich in beautiful natural views and many attractions. A large water artery - the White River and the Ashkadar River flowing into it with its tributaries entangle the entire territory of the city and make its clean green streets even more picturesque.

If you watch live webcams of Sterlitamak, it can be noted that the city is conditionally divided into the western and eastern parts by the railway.

These areas are connected by the longest city street Khudaiberdina, crossing the entire Sterlitamak.
In the eastern part is the historical center, called the Old Town. The main ancient sights of Sterlitamak are concentrated here - buildings of pre-revolutionary buildings. Architectural monuments are considered to be the old City Bank, the Zemstvo Council, the college and the women's gymnasium, as well as the houses of wealthy merchants. In the Old Town there is also the Mother of God-Tabynsky convent with a modest church and a belfry visible from afar. Entrance to the territory is free for everyone who wants to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the monastery, as well as admire the ancient icons of the 17th century.

The main Orthodox church of the city - St. Nicholas Cathedral is also located in the eastern part of Sterlitamak.

Nearby are an old wooden mosque built at the beginning of the 20th century and the new Khalit Ibn Walit, opened in 2007. This magnificent building is the real national pride of the Bashkir part of the population of Sterlitamak, and is considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Russia.
Since 1918, the local history museum has been operating in the colorful building of an old merchant bank that adorns the historical center of the city. Its exposition presents many artifacts of antiquity. Thematic halls dedicated to the pre-revolutionary era, nature and ecology of the region, as well as ethnographic materials and objects of national Bashkir arts and crafts are equipped.

The natural attractions of Sterlitamak should first of all include the famous shikhans - cone-shaped high hills located right outside the city.

These unique geological monuments are the remains of giant coral reefs that formed on the bottom of the ocean that covered the territory of the Urals three hundred million years ago. Valuable fossils of ancient marine animals and algae are still found in these places.
Another popular tourist site is located 15 km from Sterlitamak - the Ishcheevskaya Cave Gallery, which is more than a kilometer long. Entrance to the underground corridors is free for everyone, and the beautiful natural views of the surroundings make hiking especially memorable.
