    The white Stone Kremlin is the heart of the ancient city, embodying the culture of the West and the east.

    The minarets of the main mosque of the city of Kul Sharif have soared up here (visit) and the domes of the oldest Orthodox Annunciation Cathedral sparkle with gold.

    All house layouts are exact copies of their originals.

    17:25 Kazan Shrine.

    A visit to the Kazan Bogoroditsky Monastery, the history of which is inextricably linked with the acquisition, glorification and veneration in Russia of the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

    After 1579, Kazan became the holy place of Russia, where the Mother of God herself suddenly showed the greatest mercy.

    Kazan Icon… Who didn't know her in Russia?

    This icon is one of the most revered in the Russian Church.

    They pray to her, they make requests to her.

    At the same time, few people ask themselves what path the miraculous icon has traveled and where did it come from?

    Almost a hundred years ago, in 1932, Kazan lost one of its main sites – the Cathedral of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

    But now, years later, the cathedral was erected on the site of the miraculous image, "returned" to its historical place, in its former appearance.

    And it is difficult to overestimate the spiritual significance of such a recreation.
