The Ulyanovsk webcam broadcasts from the side of house 60B on Alexandrovskaya Street.

Ulyanovsk webcams, which this site offers to watch online, open a panorama of a large city with an unusual history.
Due to its location on the picturesque banks of the Volga and Sviyaga, Ulyanovsk is rich in beautiful landscapes and natural attractions. The extraordinary breadth of the Volga riverbed in these places and the scale of the huge bridges across the river are very impressive. Sailing regattas are held here every year – one of the most beautiful and beloved sights of the townspeople. In summer, small cruise ships run along the Volga, and the river station and the stone embankment are great places to relax and walk.
But tourists and local historians are interested in the city because of its historical status as the "motherland of Lenin". Many architectural monuments associated with the life of Ilyich and his family have survived to this day. These unique pre-revolutionary buildings were carefully protected and restored, and entire city blocks have the status of protected areas. Traveling to the era of the century before last is the main goal of tourists coming to Ulyanovsk.
If you watch Ulyanovsk webcams online, you will notice not only a large number of historically valuable buildings of the XIX- early XX centuries, but also unusual, even funny monuments.
For example, a monument to the letter "E", installed on Novy Venets Boulevard. This letter appeared in the Russian alphabet only in 1797 with the filing of Nikolai Karamzin, who used it in his literary almanac.
No less interesting is another "literary" sculpture, which appeared in 2005 in the park on Goncharova Street. This is the bronze sofa of Oblomov, the famous lazy hero of the novel of the same name. It is covered with a plastic imitation of gold brocade, and is very popular with fans of funny memorable photos. Next to the sofa are the slippers of a lazy dreamer and a music stand with an open book – novel "Oblomov". Nearby there is a monument to the writer Ivan Goncharov himself, who was born in Simbirsk (Ulyanovsk before 1924).
The history of this ancient Volga city began in the middle of the XVII century, when, by order of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, troops were sent to the lower reaches of the great river to protect the Russian borders from nomad raids. This marked the beginning of the construction of several modern districts of the Volga region at once.
If it is not possible to visit the city, Ulyanovsk webcams, which you can watch online even from home, are invited to a virtual tour.
