INTA– one of the cities of the Komi Republic, located in the far North. The winters are harsh, snow drifts knee-deep, and the wind is quite virtuosic. The city was founded already in the twentieth century, therefore, will not find here the old attractions. The main attribute in INTA is a Water tower. This building serves as a symbol of the city emblem, also has a history. It is associated with the photos, hidden in a tower spire of a certain Swede, interior decorator and part-time prisoner, who was styled "King Arthur" for the stately Royal posture. A story in the style of Monte Cristo, it will be interesting to see the travelers.

Except the tower, prisoners were engaged in construction of coal mines, one of which still operates. In the tower, which has long served its main purpose, which is now a branch Museum of local Lore.
