The Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, the monument of history and culture of the world. Erected in the early 16th century to protect the Eastern borders of the Russian state, he never surrendered to the enemy! It is at the walls of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin 400 years ago our countrymen at the call of Kuzma Minin joined forces for the expulsion of the invaders from Moscow.
Nizhny Novgorod was founded in of around 1221. The entire population could fit within the walled Kremlin, or capital, with several lookout and defensive towers. I am sure Nizhny Novgorod was attacked, but it does not appear to have been overtaken. The city also boasts one of the most striking tableaus of Nizhny Novgorod's addition to World War II, with and area for equipment constructed and used in the area. There is also a very powerful wall of soldiers lost in WWII. And down near the Volga River is an eternal flame for the unknown soldier. Very powerful. The views are beautiful and it is close proximity to city center.

I came to Derbent to see its main attraction - the fortress. There you can climb a steep stone staircase or drive directly to the top of the mountain to the fortress by car. Entrance to the territory of the fortress and the museum - 250 rubles. The territory of the fortress is not very large, you can walk along the walls, some of which can be climbed. From above there is a beautiful view of the city and the sea. There is little left inside, there are several underground prisons - Zindanov, a water storage, a collection of stone anchors. There is also a small exhibition of paintings in a detached building. There is also a small museum on the territory where you can see various archaeological finds, coins, jugs, weapons and clothes. Interesting in principle. There is also a small souvenir shop. Definitely worth a visit.

I can proudly brag about covering the whole length of the fortress wall. I did not do it at once. It took me several years to do that. In the past some sections were neglected. Anyone could climb over there and walk amid piles of garbage. This time I was pleasantly surprised to see a well-kept wall.
