Parks and squares of Kazan. Like all big cities, Kazan is inconceivable without green spaces, an abundance of parks and squares.

They are bohemian and democratic. The history of Kazan parks is two hundred years old. Before that, in the 17th century in Russia there was no concept of "park" at all. That is, there were parks, but royal, boyar ones.

The first public park that appeared in Kazan at the beginning of the 19th century is Black Lake. And private parks in Kazan appeared back in the XVIII century (for example, Lyadsky, Nikolaevsky kindergartens).

Our grandmothers used to walk in these parks to the sounds of a brass band, set up dates and business meetings here, and today the renovated parks greet the townspeople and visitors with coolness from the summer heat and unusual stories from the past.
