A Pyatigorsk can be translated from Russian as Five Mountains and was named in honour of the five-domed Mount Beshtau (which itself is Turkic for Five Mountains). Pyatigorsk is the largest of the so-called Caucasian Mineral Water resort-cities and the second largest city in the Stavropol Territory. It is situated over 500 metres above sea level on the foothills of the Greater Caucasus overlooked by Mount Mashuk. The city is also known as being the site of the duel in which Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov was killed.

B The writings of the 14th-century Arabian traveler Ibn Battuta included the earliest known mention of the mineral springs. Peter the Great fostered the earliest scientific study of them. Interest revived at the end of the 18th century with the foundation of Konstantinogorskaya fortress, erected at Mashuk in 1780.The value of the Caucasian mineral waters led to the construction of a resort in 1803, and studies of their medical properties began thereafter. Many settlements developed near the springs. Pyatigorsk was one of them.

C Mount Mashuk - one of the most visited places in Pyatigorsk. There is a TV tower standing on the top of the mountain. You can see the panorama of the foothills of the Caucasus and the Greater Caucasus mountain range, Elbrus and Kazbek, and the panorama of Pyatigorsk. The height of the Mashuk Mountain is 993 meters above sea level. You can get to the top using a cable car (about 3 minutes to overcome the distance of 964 meters up to the station on the mountain top).

D The city and surrounding area have a great tourist potential and in the long term can compete with the leading European spas and health resorts. In addition to the

                                                          1

health, eco-resort and recreational tourism, Pyatigorsk resort has excellent facilities for the historical and cultural, archaeological, cultural and museum, pilgrimage, scientific, sports, youth, walking, cycling, equestrian, hunting, extreme, mountain, climbing and other types of tourism and tours.

E    Many historic monuments of Pyatigorsk are associated with the name of M. Lermontov, a famous Russian writer and poet. One of such attractions is the Lermontov Gallery. Originally, it was located in Nizhny Novgorod and was built to open a new exhibition. In the late 19th century, it was “transferred” to Pyatigorsk. The exterior of the gallery harmoniously combines the Gothic and modern elements. The gallery resembles a spectacular fabulous palace. Now, music concerts and performances are regularly held here.

F     All fans of theatrical performances should visit the Stavropol Theatre of Musical Comedy opened in 1939. The building occupied by the theatre was built at the beginning of the 20th century and is known as the House of National Cultures. After the Revolution, the establishment of the Soviet authority was officially announced exactly in this building. In the period of the Great Patriotic War, the building was partially destroyed but then was restored within a very short time.

G The must-see of the sightseeing program is Lermontov Museum and Reserve. It is located in the small house of the early 19th century where the writer spent the last years of his life. The museum was opened in 1912. Nowadays, besides the residence, it includes several historic constructions. The museum collection presents writer’s personal items, writings, and his first copies of published works. This old residence has a preserved atmosphere of the past. It is more interesting to visit the residence in a warm period when flowers and trees bloom in its garden.
