One of the largest scientific and cultural centers in the North Caucasus region is Makhachkala. Attractions of this city attract tourists from different parts of Russia and not only. There are many educational institutions, monuments, museums, galleries, theaters, mosques and many other unique objects. It is about them that we will go further. To begin acquaintance with the city, perhaps, is worth visiting the Museum of History. Despite the fact that it is the youngest, one can learn a lot about the history and culture that Makhachkala is famous for. The central Juma mosque, whose prototype is the Istanbul Blue Mosque, is one of the religious objects of the city. Sights of a religious nature also include the Holy Dormition Cathedral, which is the only Orthodox church in the city. On the station square you can see the monument to Mahach Dahadayev, which was established in 1971. It was in his honor in 1920 that the city of Port Petrovsk was renamed Makhachkala. Another famous monument of the city is the sculpture of the five-time world champion and on freestyle wrestling - Ali Aliyev. The monument was erected in 1998 near the building of the sports complex. It does not matter what reason you are in the territory of such a beautiful city as Makhachkala. Sights (museums, theaters, monuments, mosques, cathedrals and other interesting objects) will certainly draw your attention.
