The city of Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is located on the banks of the Belaya River in the place where the Dema and Ufa rivers flow into it. Ufa hotels are always ready to receive guests of the city.
History of the city
Many years ago, or rather, in the XIV century, on the banks of the Belaya River, there was no talk of a city at all. There was one fortress here, something like the residence of one of the governors of the Nogai Horde. 1557 completely changed the circumstances. This year, in order to receive protection from Russia from raids, Bashkiria voluntarily wished to join it and thereby protect its people. It took more than 20 years until Ivan the Terrible came up with the idea to build a village on the site of the fortress, and after another 12 years the built village received the status of a city, now known to everyone as Ufa. It became the capital of Bashkiria - a huge city with a population of one and a half million people. At the same time, more than a dozen different nationalities.
There's something to see here
According to statistics, Ufa is considered one of the greenest cities in Russia. Ufa monuments have become the hallmark of the capital of Bashkortostan.
The most famous of them are the monument to Salavat Yulaev, the Monument of Friendship, the monument to V. I. Lenin in M. Gafuri park, Devil's settlement, templeNativity of the Virgin.
In addition to these well-known and beloved by tourists monuments, the city has 20 museums, 8 parks, more than 40 monuments, the Botanical Garden, the Akbuzat hippodrome, and, of course, the unforgettable, incomparable nature of the surroundings: endless rivers, forests, fields.
