Temple-monument to soldiers who fell during the capture of Kazan in 1552
Description:
The temple-monument to the soldiers who fell during the capture of Kazan in 1552, also has the name Temple-monument in honor of the Unmade Image of the Savior. This creation of monumental art is located in the city of Kazan above the Kazanka River. The appearance at first glance is very similar to a certain Egyptian pyramid, consisting of four planes decorated with stucco and historical inscriptions. The number of entrances to the temple corresponds to the number of its sides.
The name of the monument speaks for itself. But few people know that it is also a huge mass grave. Not a single thousand soldiers were buried here as a result of the capture of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible. The natives of Kazan believe that under this temple there are many secret underground passages, one of which even leads to the Kazan Kremlin.
To get to this ancient and somewhat mysterious monument, you can get to the stop "River College" by public transport.
