The minaret and ruins of the Khan’s palace, oriental baths and mausoleums – all this has been attracting guests and history lovers from all over the world for 800 years. Since 2014 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site
There Baty Khan minted his first coins, Tamerlane ruthlessly dealt with enemies, Alexander Nevsky was waiting for the princely title, Peter the Great issued the first Russian decree on the protection of historical monuments, and the young Derzhavin described antiquities.
The northernmost point of the world of the official adoption of Islam will reveal the secrets of its medieval history, impress with the art of oriental architecture and impress with the beauty of its nature!
On the way back, we will visit the Bilyar State Natural and Archaeological Museum-Reserve. It includes an ancient settlement – the remains of a large city, the first capital of Volga Bulgaria with the ruins of a mosque of the 10th century. In addition, we will see an incredibly beautiful place – the Holy Key. This place, revered by representatives of three faiths, has long attracted people. We climb the stairs in 444 steps, see the pagan temple, learn the legend of the Host Mountain from the bowels of which a crystal clear spring beats.
