Map of my Mariupol historical memorial places. What is worth seeing in Mariupol? Rest in Mariupol

Mariupol is enough Big City, on the territory of which there is a very large number of attractions and simply diverse interesting places for rest and exploration.

The city's drama theater, located in the city center, at the intersection of Artema Street and Lenin Avenue.

Its full name is Donetsk Regional Russian Drama Theater. The history of the theater dates back to 1878, when the first city theater troupe began performing here. And already in 1897 a new theater building was opened.

Now next to the theater there is a city square, which has a lot of summer entertainment for children and adults. Such as a shooting range, an inflatable trampoline and the possibility of horseback riding, or a ride for children on beautiful ponies.

An interesting local attraction was two houses with a spire, eastern and western. They are located in close proximity to the Drama Theater Square.

They became interesting due to the fact that the spiers can be seen from absolutely anywhere in the city, even near the sea. The buildings are made in the style of classicism, they are characterized by stucco on the walls, arched openings and figured parapets.

The largest museum in the Azov region is considered Mariupol Museum of Local Lore.

It was founded in distant, pre-war Mariupol, in 1920. There are really very interesting exhibitions on display here. Primary school students from absolutely all city schools constantly come here.

Today the museum consists of 7 halls and has more than fifty thousand exhibits! Children are most interested in natural specimens and specimens of weapons for boys.

here everything leads from the primitive system to modernity. Moreover, many exhibits are truly unique. They are very interesting to look at even for adults.

Built in the city of Mariupol Cathedral Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Construction of the temple began in 1989 and ended in 1993. The iconostasis of the temple was painted by local craftsmen. And in the cathedral itself there are shrines that are very revered by all believers.

At the temple, namely in its courtyard, Sunday schools for adults and children were built and operate. The territory of the temple and the courtyard are very small, but a very large number of people always gather here.

Mariupol honors the memory of the famous painter, Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi. It was in his honor that the doors of the museum, built in 2010, opened.

The museum's exhibitions are dedicated to the life and work of the artist, and also present works of art of the 20th century, which were created by Ukrainian masters of painting.

The surprising thing is that the museum could not be built for a very long time, because the idea of ​​its formation originated in 1914, when Mariupol was offered 10 paintings by the author. But then, the city authorities did not have any place to accommodate them. And after that, the very idea of ​​​​creating a museum was constantly postponed.

Today the museum building is a beautiful mansion, which was built in 1902. The museum's collection includes more than two thousand exhibits. Among them are the most beautiful and unique paintings of our master painters.

It can be an excellent place for walking and relaxing Mariupol City Garden, he is also central.

In 1872, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich personally planted two trees here. The park contains several monuments to those killed during the war. There is also a children's cinema and palaces for children's and youth creativity.

There are several cafes here, including summer ones. Summer disco, as well as a small number of children's attractions and modern playgrounds.

There is another museum in Mariupol, called Museum of the Azov Greeks.

At one time, the Greeks created settlements on the lands of Sea of ​​Azov, which later began to turn into the current city of Mariupol. In this way, the city honors the memory of the creators and founders of the city.

The museum's exhibitions tell about the life and culture of the Greeks who moved here from Crimea in the 1778s.

The museum also pays great attention to the unique Greek cuisine, there are even books with recipes for dishes. The exhibitions are constantly being updated.

Mariupol, moreover, is also an important port city. Therefore, in 2012 they opened a new museum dedicated to the history of the port and its development, right up to modern days.

Here are models of ships, great amount photographs and achievements of Mariupol sailors.

Previously, there was a similar museum in the city, but it was very old and not adequate modern realities, which is why the city council decided to create a completely new museum, beautiful and modern.

Among the monuments of famous historical figures in the city are the following monuments:

Monument to A.S. Pushkin, located at the very entrance to the Drama Theater.

Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky, where he is depicted as investigator Zheglov with a pistol. Moreover, someone constantly steals his pistol, and the city authorities decided not to replace the pistol at all.

In Mariupol, due to the fact that a chest crack appeared at the pedestal, a new monument was erected, already the second one. Therefore, this is the only city in the world in which two monuments to Vladimir Vysotsky have been erected.

Monument to the fallen workers of Azovstal. “Feat never dies. His people keep him in memory." It is dedicated to those heroes who died in the city during the war. During the German occupation of Mariupol, during which more than 6,000 people died.

Cultural and entertainment center "Vashura Village". which is located in the vicinity of Mariupol, namely in the village of Sartana. There is a small zoo here where bears, llamas, wolves, peacocks and other animals live.

On its territory there are cozy cafes and a wonderful children's playground. During the season, hundreds of people with children walk here.

Here you can also just relax and take a walk after the wedding ceremony, because the territory is equipped with magnificent openwork gazebos and a huge six-meter rotunda has been installed.

There is also a mini-waterfall and a fountain, which are beautifully illuminated in the evening, which gives the place a special flavor and a certain fairy-tale story.

Every time I am in Mariupol, I try to get to the observation deck of the Cathedral of the Holy Archangel Michael, which is popularly called “Pozhivanovskaya” in honor of the previous mayor of the city, Mikhail Pozhivanov, who was one of the main patrons of the construction.

A good place with beautiful views of the Azov Sea attracts not only believers, but also all guests of the city. The fresh sea wind, silence and tranquility set thoughts in a special way - you want to think about the eternal.

Construction of the church began in the mid-1990s, when Mikhail Pozhivanov was mayor of Mariupol. He was the initiator and philanthropist of the project, for which the church received the popular nickname “Pozhivanovskaya”, which has survived to this day. Not far from the chosen place was the house of the mayor, although even without this nuance the place was chosen very good.

High hill above the sea. It is dominated by a six-domed red brick church. And from the temple itself it opens beautiful view to the Sea of ​​Azov and coastal villages.

PHOTO: In its current form, the church looks “more expensive”

Initially, the domes were made of galvanized steel, which gave the temple a “cheap” look, but the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael itself immediately gave rise to a great many rumors that were associated with its main patron of the arts.

PHOTO: Moscow Patriarchate... not surprising

The priests' cars and other nuances were discussed, but despite all this talk, the cathedral became one of the most popular places of worship for residents of the left bank. And on Easter there is simply an endless stream of joyful people heading towards the church, who receive a charge of positive energy both from the awareness of the great holiday and from visiting a good place.

On the observation deck there is a monument to Metropolitan Ignatius, who, according to the history of Mariupol, led the migration of Orthodox Greeks from Crimea to the Azov region. The sculpture is made using such technology that it is hollow inside and therefore requires special care. Last year it turned out that it was beginning to collapse, and long-term disputes began between various structures about what to do with it. It was even proposed to move Ignatius to the city center, but no consensus has yet been found.

There is a small park around the church, which has asphalt paths, many flowers, trees, and livestock (chickens, ducks, which the church people tend to). For a tourist, it is important that there is free parking and a toilet.

There is a long path leading to the church, so the domes appear several hundred meters away. Gradually, the silhouette of the temple completely grows.

I didn’t have the courage to climb onto the roof of the dormitory of the neighboring school, so take my word for it that the following photographs were taken from observation deck at the temple.

From here, even the metallurgical plant doesn't look so scary.

The fresh sea breeze allows you to forget about worldly problems.

I have already said that I try to be here every time I come to Mariupol. In addition, I bring my guests here too. After the frightening appearance of the factories and the persistent smell of coke, a visit to this place significantly improves their opinion of Mariupol.

Despite the fact that Mariupol is primarily a metallurgical and seaport, the sights of Mariupol may be of interest to many spoiled tourists. The museums of this city are of particular interest. To those attractions of Mariupol one can safely include the Museum of History and Ethnography of the Greeks of the Azov Region and Mariupol local history museum.

If you are interested in the history of the Donetsk region, the sights of this region, archaeological artifacts, the museums of Mariupol are a must-see. The Museum of History and Ethnography of the Greeks of the Azov Region, among other things, will tell its visitors about the history of the migration of Greeks from Crimea to the Azov region. The Mariupol Museum of Local Lore has very interesting archaeological exhibits from antiquity. Real historians and local historians will learn a lot of interesting things by visiting these sights of Mariupol.

If you are interested in new trends in artistic graphics, photography and painting, you can visit an interesting landmark of Mariupol - the A. I. Kuindzhi Center for Contemporary Art. I would like to note that the arts center fund is replenished every year. Already today, visitors are offered more than 1,600 works of art. This museum often hosts international exhibitions and festivals. By the way, in Mariupol there is another attraction of a similar nature. This is the ArtLux art center. This is a younger attraction of Mariupol. Despite this, the artistic part of the center’s collection already numbers more than 1,000 paintings. In addition, in this center visitors are invited to get acquainted with embroidery, wood carving and other decorative arts.

Rest in Mariupol.

A pleasant addition to the historical sights of Mariupol is geographical location of this city. After visiting the museums, each visitor can relax on sandy beaches Mariupol. Despite the fact that it is generally accepted that the sea in Mariupol is shallow and polluted, there is a place to relax. Did you know that not far from this city there is such a landmark of Mariupol as the Belosarayskaya Spit. Just 14 km from the city, a real protected area with beautiful flora and fauna awaits you. There is a mixture of steppe and sea aromas in the air, which is what attracts many tourists from Ukraine and Russia to this attraction of Mariupol.

Saint Petersburg. Vasilyevsky Island. Exchange Line, 18. In this house on July 11, 1910, after a serious illness, the heart of Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi stopped. On the death of an outstanding landscape painter, the majority Russian newspapers and magazines responded with lengthy obituary articles and short messages with condolences.

It is quite obvious that not all history teachers, when explaining to students the events of the thirties and the first half of the forties of the last century, focus on the bestial appearance of German fascism, with its misanthropic racial theory. After all, according to it, the only full-fledged nation, the nation of masters, was considered only the German one. Representatives of the rest were considered subhuman. It is known that the plans of Hitler’s elite provided for the destruction of both […]

Over the two and a half years of the park’s existence, the lovers’ tree has become overgrown with locks that the newlyweds left on it, and the cliff itself has become a favorite corner for the townspeople. It is not surprising that the host of the show “The Inspector General” Olga Freimut visited this cliff during filming in Mariupol.

Second place Our top was divided between the City Garden and Petrovsky Park.

The city garden has long won the hearts of Mariupol residents as a favorite place for walks. There are benches here beautiful view on the sea, fountain. In the summer in the garden you can hide in the shade of the trees and listen to the birds singing, and in the evenings you can go to cozy corner to the bridge of lovers and the bench of love.

By the way, the last one appeared in the park in May 2012. Youth activists installed it, hoping to create a romantic corner. Thus, the City Garden was decorated with a wrought-iron bench and a lamppost. Soon this place became very popular among Mariupol residents.

But the vandals did not ignore such a beautiful architectural element - the shop was destroyed, and only memories remained of the former romance.

And in Petrovsky Park, romance is still alive. It is this corner of the city that is considered to be the place where newlyweds must visit - the local lawns and Christmas trees must definitely be included in the frame, becoming a worthy backdrop for a snow-white dress. lawn care http://greenland.crimea.ua here at top level, it is clear that everything is done with soul.

Who would have thought that this park was once considered one of the most criminal places in the city - fights and stabbings constantly took place there. Locals We only went to the park during the day; it was too dangerous to walk there in the evenings.

Already in the 2000s, after Azovmash, on whose balance sheet this park is located, got on its feet, it was decided to reconstruct it. Then this vacation spot received a second life - the park became a safe and cozy place, concerts with the participation of stars and discos began to be held here.

On third place There is a cliff near the monument to the ship in the Primorsky district of Mariupol and Komsomolsky Boulevard in the Ordzhonikidze district. Both of these places have always been popular among Mariupol residents in love, because they offer a beautiful view of the Azov Sea, and... a little bit of the Azovstal plant.

Probably, if not for this fact, then both the boulevard and the cliff could easily claim first place in our top list, because here there is a place to stroll and a place to sit, looking at the endless expanses of the sea.

Seaside Park, which occupied Thursday deleted line, until quite recently it was not a romantic place at all - the destroyed stage, the broken sidewalk and the abandoned Poseidon fountain did not at all evoke tender feelings, although, for lack of anything better, they still served as a place for walks.


After a while, a mosque appeared here, which with its beauty began to attract the attention of residents of the area, and in 2011-2012 a large-scale reconstruction began in the park - new benches appeared, the fountain was reconstructed, and the lighting was restored. It has become pleasant to walk here in the evenings again. True, the alley of forged figures and the reconciliation bench promised by the authorities are not yet in the park.


Fifth placedivided between themselves several beautiful corners of the city - less popular, but beautiful and cozy.

One of them was the so-called Arbat. This place was renovated in 2010 for Europe Day in Mariupol. It was then that 300 thousand UAH were allocated from the city budget. on figured paving, benches, new lamps and flower beds that decorated the alley.

No less charming is the relaxation area near the Meeting Place restaurant - in the warm season you can often meet lovers having a pleasant conversation while sitting on a bench.

The most unusual romantic place, according to those interviewed by us, is Gampersky Descent. This amazing place in the old part of the city.

If we delve deeper into our memories, each of us can find a few more romantic corners. Although not everyone looks as perfect as they once did. For example, the embankment of the Kalchik River in the park named after. Gurova was once (after its reconstruction by the Ilyich plant) a favorite place for walks on romantic evenings, but now there is practically no lighting there, and, accordingly, there is no former mood.

However, every Mariupol resident has his own special place associated with pleasant memories - a bench on which he once held the hand of a loved one for the first time, a corner of the park that became the place for his first kiss, a corner of the beach where he once confessed for the first time in love, the alley where the first wedding photograph was taken, and perhaps the not at all beautiful, but no less touching building of one of the maternity hospitals where your baby was born.
