Sights of Perm. A walk along the "Green Line"

The circular pedestrian route through the central blocks, in which the most interesting sights of Perm are concentrated, is called the "Green Line". A leisurely hour and a half walk gives an opportunity to get an idea of the city, to see monuments of architecture and culture belonging to the past and the present.

Special attention should be paid to such original sights of Perm as sculptural compositions - monuments dedicated to the most unexpected characters: an anonymous plumber, heroes of a well-known comedy and even ears, which the Permians, according to a popular saying, are salty. The material embodiment of the saying "Permyak - salted ears", which appeared due to the development of the salt industry in the province (since the XV century), is at the very beginning of the Green Line. Sculptural composition is an oval frame with ears, fixed at a height, allowing everyone to try on Permian ears and capture a new image on the photo.

In this city there are many remarkable buildings, which you can safely say: "Amazing sights!". Perm is proud of the house of merchant Gribushin, a beautiful and elegant architectural monument of the late XIX century. This mansion in white and blue tones with a unique design in the form of stucco decorations is located on the "Green Line". After the revolution, the owners of the mansion emigrated, and the house was given to various medical institutions that were unable to save the house from destruction. The transfer of the mansion to the scientists of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences gave a new life to a remarkable architectural monument.

Guests of the city who want to see the most interesting places in Perm, necessarily go to Cathedral Square. Here is the famous art gallery - one of the largest regional art museums in Russia. The building of the Savior-Transfiguration Cathedral, in which the richest storehouse of masterpieces of painting is located, is an architectural monument of the XIX century. Exhibits from the world-famous collection of Permian wooden sculpture are also located here. On the square, located on the pedestrian route, allowing to see the sights of Perm, a monument to Nikolai the Miracle-Worker was erected. The Cathedral Square is also noteworthy for the building in which the theological seminary was once housed. In this educational institution, the inventor of radio AS Popov, writers PP Bazhov, DN Mamin-Sibiryak and MA Osorgin comprehended science .

The old story that bears are walking along the streets of Perm inspired sculptors to create a monument to the bear - a symbol of the city and part of the Permian coat of arms. From now on, near the hotel "Ural", a good-natured and calm bear is striving, who, according to Permians, is able to fulfill wishes.
