    The city was founded in the 17th century and became an important strategic military center that ensured the safety of the local population.

    The city is located in the east of Western Siberia on the banks of the Tom River.

    When the Siberian Highway was created, passing through Tomsk to Transbaikalia, the city became a center of transit trade.

    In the 19th century, the city became the center of the Tomsk Province, which included the territories of the present Kemerovo, Novosibirsk regions, the Altai Republic, the Altai Territory, the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Republic of Khakassia.

    Today Tomsk is a major educational, scientific and innovative center of Siberia.

    15:30 Wooden architecture tour in Elan and Tatarskaya Sloboda districts.

    This is a unique historical district of Tomsk, formed at the beginning of the 17th century.

    This place is known even before the foundation of the city.

    Here, at the old mouth of the Ushayka River, a Russian military winter quarters was once built, which became the forerunner of the Tomsk fortress on Voskresenskaya Mountain.

    Until the 17th century, the surroundings of modern Tomsk were inhabited by the so-called Tomsk Tatars, who lived on Yurt Mountain, where they set up their yurts, but with the arrival of the serving Russian people, they were shifted to the right bank of the Tom River, where there were water meadows, which were summer pastures.

    The Tomsk Tatars are a separate group of the population, which included such peoples as the Eushta, Kalmyks and Chats.

    This area grew and became a separate world, not inferior in terms of landscaping to other districts of Tomsk.

    Merchants and artisans who arrived from Kazan, Tobolsk provinces, Central Asia or other places settled in Tatarskaya Sloboda.

    By the end of the 19th century, the Tatar settlement of Tomsk had become one of the centers of Tatar culture in Siberia.

    Today, the wooden buildings have been preserved here and many buildings are a real work of art.

    18:00 Free time.

    I'm so glad I chose the 'Across the Expanses of Perm the Great' tour in July 2024. It was a high-quality, engaging, and thoughtfully designed journey through the entire Perm region. The trip was full of fascinating discoveries: ancient monasteries, unique museums, the distinctive Permian animal style and wooden deities, the history of salt production and the Stroganovs in the Urals, and much more. The natural beauty of Parma was breathtaking: dense forests, countless rivers, mountains, and even an ice cave. The hotels were comfortable, and the breakfasts and lunches were tasty, often featuring elements of local cuisine. Traveling in a small group made the experience even more enjoyable, after all, it's usually seasoned travelers who venture to the Perm region. One special moment was when we all got to bake and taste traditional gingerbread made from an old recipe, for many of us, it was a first. Huge thanks to our amazing guide, Andrey, and to Venaris, our incredibly skilled driver!
