Dear friends, we have a sightseeing tour of the historical part of the city. During which you will see one of the ancient churches - the Savior Church, which was built in 1706 and miraculously survived to our times.

We will visit the Epiphany Cathedral, founded in 1718-1274, was originally built of wood, but a great fire destroyed the building.

Not far from the Savior Church is the Polish Church - a masterpiece of architecture of the XIX century, the lancet structure is almost the only example of late Gothic, a pearl of urban architecture.

Znamensky Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in Siberia. Originated in 1693. Peter I demanded the acceleration of the Christianization of the non-Russian population of Siberia. He attached special importance to the opening of the monastery in Irkutsk.

Monument to Alexander III - a monument to Emperor Alexander III was built to commemorate the completion of the construction of the Siberian railway. In 1908 the monument was opened. It is located on the embankment, which was formed by the end of the XVII century. There were major trade deals with merchants. Now it is a place of rest of the Irkutsk people.
