Tyumen. Embankment of the river Tura

in #travel6 years ago


One of the interesting corners of Tyumen is the embankment of the River Tura. This place has quiet walks along the river bank and rest. The Tyumen embankment is absolutely unique in terms of engineering and architectural solutions. First of all, it performs an important function to strengthen the coast, but it is also a visiting card of the city. It is the only embankment in Russia designed on four levels. During the spring flood two lower tiers flood.

The construction of the embankment has become one of the most ambitious urban projects. Almost three dozen sculptors, architects and artists worked on its creation.

First part of the project was completed in 2012.

The first stage of the embankment begins from the motor bridge

More precisely from two. In that place, two bridges are near.

The length of the plot is almost one and a half kilometers.

Expressive embankment attached stair railings, carved out of granite in the form of waves and highlighted by lanterns.

One of the embankment decorations is a waterfall fountain.

Lower levels and stairwell descents are completely made in granite.

Monument to students of the 19th century.

On the bas-reliefs you can see the history from ancient times to the present.

Tyumen is the first Russian city in Siberia, a city with a rich history. It was founded on July 29, 1586 by the governors Vasily Sukin and Ivan Myasnym as a fortress at the mouth of the Tyumen River.

Sculpture in the image of a cartographer, historian, geographer, architect Semyon Remezov is dedicated to Russian cartographers. On behalf of the Russian government, he created the famous "Drawing of the Siberian Land" - the first Russian geographical atlas, a kind of result accumulated by that time materials about the location of cities and rivers of Siberia.
