What can a tourist see in Voronezh in one day? Voronezh and its sights with photos and descriptions Stone Bridge and Ascension Church

Tourists love to take photos of the sights of Voronezh. This is not surprising because it is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful and well-groomed Russian cities. Many tourists visiting it do not even realize that during the war years all the streets were almost completely destroyed. Residents of Voronezh restored everything that could survive, and many architectural and cultural monuments were added to the city's attractions.

The ship-museum Goto Predestination, known throughout Russia, is located near the pier of Admiralteyskaya Square. In translation, it means God's foresight. This ship is an exact reproduction of a unique historical ship that was created two centuries ago. It is noteworthy that such a design was reproduced according to the old drawings of the era of Peter the Great and completely corresponds to it.


Both the external and internal decoration of the monument is made in the spirit of that ancient era. Local residents and guests are especially struck by the aft part, which depicts figures of people and mythological creatures. Below them is an old Russian inscription, which tells about the first launch of this ship on the water, as well as about the time of its construction.

Over the entire surface upper deck ship cannons are located, the volleys of which were heard several centuries ago. In the inner part of the Voronezh ship there is the main museum exposition, which presents traditional marine attributes, a galley, a desk, a captain's cabin and a camping altar.

“We arrived in Voronezh and immediately visited this famous ship, which stands on Admiralteyskaya Square. I think this is the most beautiful attraction in the city. You can order a tour, which will tell you about the history of the flotilla.

The monument to White Bim is located on Revolution Avenue. In Russia, this is the second monument erected in honor of the dog. White Bim Black Ear is a well-known hero of the book by G. Troepolsky, a famous writer who lived in Voronezh. The statue is located near the puppet theater "Jester".

It was erected not so long ago, in the early autumn of 1998. Interestingly, the monument was created and erected at their own expense by the talented Voronezh sculptors E. Pak and I. Dikunov, who are laureates of the Russian State Prize.

The very idea of ​​creating a monument originated with them back in the 80s. Voronezh sculptors were consulted by the writer himself. But unfortunately, G. Troepolsky was not destined to see the built attraction, since he died in 1995.

“It seems to me that this monument exudes loneliness. More than once I watched how children (and even some of the adults) passing by Bim feel sorry for the sculpture, hug, or simply take pictures with him.













The oceanarium in Voronezh was built as a large entertainment and educational complex that introduces children and adults to underwater inhabitants. This landmark of the city is great place to have fun with the whole family.

The Voronezh Oceanarium occupies more than 4 km. Throughout the territory there are aquaterrariums, aquariums and aviaries. In total, there are almost 180 species of fish, about 60 species of different mammals, as well as invertebrates, rare animals, birds and reptiles.

There are a total of 3760 species of individuals on the site of this entertainment and educational complex. The oceanarium was opened in autumn 2011. Interestingly, its construction took more than 20 million dollars. This one is recognized as one of the most expensive among the buildings in the Central part of Russia. For the convenience of visitors, this aquarium is divided into several zones. Each of them has its own name: "Oceans and Seas", "Polar Waters", "Steppes and Forests", and also "Jungle".

“We visit this place with children several times a year. And every time we do not lose interest in the inhabitants of the oceanarium. The fish here are just huge, a lot of animals. It happens that if we get to a performance or feeding animals, then the emotions of children overflow.

This sailing frigate rises among the waves, on a concrete pedestal. The model of the ship Mercury was created in order to perpetuate the memory of the beginning of the appearance of the Russian fleet. The ship, which has become a monument, took part in the famous Kerch campaign. Then, when all the other ships returned, the Mercury suffered a different fate.

Under the influence of a strong wind, it was thrown aground. The ship went to the bottom due to a huge hole that appeared. But this ship was not abandoned. It was raised, restored, and for a long time the sea frigate served for the benefit of Russia.

“For those who want to see this attraction in Voronezh, it will not be so easy to get to it. In the summer, you can get to the frigate on something that moves on the water. For example, on a boat or boat. In winter, you can walk to the monument and walk along the frozen Voronezh reservoir.”











Voronezh landmark Annunciation Cathedral is a temple belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church. This building is recognized as one of the highest in the world among Orthodox churches. In addition, in size it is second only to two other cathedrals in Russia. Such a Voronezh architectural monument reaches a height of almost 90 meters, and the distance to its top is almost 100 meters.

The construction of this cathedral began not so long ago, in 1998. The building is located on the territory of Pervomaisky Garden. The structure is divided into upper and lower temples. The basis for the construction was the Vladimir Voronezh Cathedral, which was razed to the ground in the 30s. the last century.

“Very beautiful cathedral building. The size of the temple is amazing. Inside the cathedral, there is some special peace and tranquility. In the courtyard, you can sit on a bench, enjoying the silence. There are several church shops throughout the temple. I advise you to visit."











Memorial Square "Admiralty" was opened in early autumn 1996. It is located on the famous Petrovsky embankment in Voronezh. Voronezh Square is created in the form of a semicircle.

Architectural compositions are designed to glorify Russia as a great power. In this place, in memory of the day the construction of the flotilla began, a rostral column was erected. Today it is one of the most favorite places among the residents of Voronezh. On Admiralteyskaya Square, you can ride rollerblades, bike, or take a leisurely stroll around architectural monuments.

For newlyweds, this place is considered happy. It is here that they come after the registry office in order to hang a small castle on a stone fence. They say that following this tradition will help make the relationship of the newlyweds stronger. In addition, the building of the Assumption Admiralty Church is installed here, which is a temple built in the 17th century and completely preserved to our times.

“I love visiting this place in Voronezh. Various concerts and holidays are constantly held here. Many monuments. The first fleet was launched from this embankment. Now it's just nice to walk here in any weather. Of course, I would like the area to be more well-groomed. Although it’s clean near the temple and the ship.”











The building of this museum was opened quite recently - in the middle of summer 2001. The director and playwright A. Veselov had a hand in the creation of this institution. He always dreamed of such a museum in Voronezh, but, unfortunately, he did not live to see the opening. In memory of the great artist, the museum was named after him.

Currently, there are more than 4 thousand various exhibits on the territory of the building. Among them are things that belonged to A. Veselov, as well as his own collection of cassettes with recordings of performances from various Voronezh puppet theaters and a large puppet collection.

Dolls from the playwright's collection are of particular value - for example, a toy brought from Bolivia or a doll in the form of a prince from Indonesia. There is also a puppet created by the hands of Sicilian masters. The Museum of theatrical puppets is located in the building of the famous puppet theater "Jester" in Voronezh on the top floor. The establishment is open every day, from morning to evening.

“Great place that my daughter loves so much! The museum is located in the Shut puppet theater (on the third floor). It is a large hall with puppets from Sicily at the entrance and showcases with dolls.

Kitten Vasya from Lizyukov Street is the very first cartoon character who was awarded a monument in his honor. The cartoon, which was created by the writer V. Zlotnikov and director V. Kotenochkin, fell in love not only with children, but also with adults in our country.


It was decided to put the monument to the Kitten from Lizyukov Street in Voronezh, not only because this city was mentioned in the cartoon, but also because the creator of the character is a native of these places. It is for this reason that the action of the story takes place on a real-life Voronezh street named after General Lizyukov. The idea to erect such a monument came to the mind of the editor of the publication "Young Communard".

The KP newspaper decided to support this, and after them I. Obraztsov, the man who led the administration in the Kominternovsky district. All Voronezh held a competition for the best drawing of the monument, as a result of which the drawing of a 11th grade student won.

“I think that everyone who comes to Voronezh should see this attraction. Both adults and children like to be photographed near the kitten monument. But the street itself, on which this monument stands, is not very interesting.”

This unusual monument is made in the form of a bronze chair, which, according to the idea of ​​its authors, will help the townspeople and tourists to recover from rednecks. Such a monument appeared not very long ago, at the end of September 2011. The idea to create it came to a group of artists: Yu. Astapchenko, S. Gorshkov and A. Nozhkin.

A. Nozhkin came up with such a chair in the early 90s, and even came up with a sketch, according to which the initial sample of the monument in Voronezh was made. But soon the artist died unexpectedly, and it was decided to carry out this idea to the end. Therefore, in the park, not far from the Government House, a monumental composition in the form of a chair was erected in memory of the deceased artist. The height of such a structure is 1.5 m, and the weight is 220 kg. Visitors to Voronezh can see the monument “Healing Chair No0001” for free.

“It was a good idea to make a chair that charges with kindness and positiveness, and heals from redneck. This monument does not carry any negativity and makes you think.”

This square is located in the historical part of Voronezh. The park is considered one of the most beautiful in the city. Petrovsky Square is popular not only with local residents, but also with tourists. The key monument in this place is the monument to Peter the Great. The tsar came to Voronezh in order to realize his old dream- to create the first Russian flotilla. A few years ago, the area of ​​this park in Voronezh was transformed.

Built on the territory of the park shopping mall"Petrovsky Passage". In addition, the city authorities were able to preserve the building, created in 1787, in its original form. This building once housed the Treasury.

“An excellent square, we visit it constantly in Voronezh. On a hot summer day, you can hide in the shade of trees and sit on a bench. Of the minuses - not a very large territory of the park, as well as not a lot of shops.

You can come to Voronezh at any time of the year - this hospitable city will appeal to any tourist. Clean streets and unique sights will win the hearts of visitors. The weather in Voronezh is the same as in the central part of Russia, so you can come to this place at any time of the year. Especially the city will appeal to families with children.

Attractions in the city of Voronezh with photos, names and descriptions - what is worth seeing and where to go

Voronezh is one of the most well-groomed and beautiful cities in. Walking through the streets, you don’t even suspect that during the war years it was almost completely destroyed. Everything that survived was restored by the inhabitants, and many other cultural and architectural objects were added to the precious historical monuments.

During the war years, the station building, like many other buildings, was badly damaged by an explosion during the occupation of Voronezh. In June 1942, German troops approached the borders and, having occupied the right-bank part, bombarded from the air. The defense of Voronezh continued until January 1943, after which the army managed to push the enemies out of the region. After the end of the war, a larger building with bronze figures on the facade was built on the site of the destroyed building.

In 1620, the Voronezh lands survived the invasions of Cherkasy and Lithuanians. The invaders failed to subdue the local residents, who managed to give a worthy rebuff to the enemy. In honor of this event, a men's monastery was founded on Akatova Polyana and a wooden church was erected in the name of St. Alexy of Moscow. In the middle of the XVIII century. built a new stone church. At that time, on the territory of the monastery, surrounded by walls, buildings of the refectory, buildings of monastic cells and the abbot appeared. During the years of Soviet power, the property of the monastery was confiscated, and it itself was abolished. The monastery was returned to the diocese in 1989. Currently, all the surviving buildings, including the bell tower, a unique monument of pre-Petrine architecture, have been restored. The main shrine of the monastery is the myrrh-streaming image "Life-Giving Spring". Thousands of pilgrims come to the monastery to pray at the miraculous icon of St. Panteleimon.

Complexes and memorials

The first mention of this locality belong to 1586, which makes it the elder brother of St. Petersburg. It is located 534 kilometers from Moscow, located between the banks of the Don and Voronezh rivers.

It is located on the left and right banks of the Voronezh River, 8.5 km from its confluence with, 515 km south-southeast of Moscow

In the very heart of the city, one of the largest Russian reservoirs has been organized, which divides the capital of the Chernozem region into two halves - the Right and Left banks.

It is worth noting: Voronezh bears the title of the city of military glory, since there were fierce battles with the Germans in the period from 1942 to 1943. Local residents defended their small homeland, capturing many fascist soldiers, depriving the enemy of strength for a long time.

That is why many travelers are interested in war memorials and memorable places that can be found literally in every district - mass graves, a monument dedicated to the unknown soldier, a memorial to fallen soldiers on Sovetskaya Square and many others.

The sculptures created in the last decade have won the greatest popularity:

  • Monument to the front-line postman (street Prospekt Revolyutsii).

The monument was erected near the Main Post Office and symbolizes the dangerous and necessary work performed by ordinary Voronezh residents. Poems and songs are rarely dedicated to postmen, but only a short letter from home can often lift the spirit and mood of soldiers on the front line.

Guided by this opinion, activists from the local population decided to perpetuate the work of front-line postmen in sculpture, and corporal Ivan Leontiev, a freight forwarder who served during the war years in the 333rd regiment of the Red Banner Rifle Division, became its prototype;

  • Monument to the paratroopers (next to Lizyukov St. and 60th Army, on the site near the Academy of Arts).

The city bears another honorary title - the birthplace of the Airborne Forces, since it was in it, on the territory of today's Kominternovsky district, that an airborne landing took place for the first time in world history. The building dedicated to this truly great event is an open parachute, under the dome of which stands a paratrooper who has just landed and a schoolboy holding a model aircraft.

Traditionally, August 2, on the day Airborne Troops, solemn events are held for all who are involved in this type of military service. By the way, there is a cozy square nearby, and a little further away there are free children's attractions, so it is interesting to come here with the whole family;

  • Monument "Seller and Buyer" (St. Vladimir Nevsky, 48).

An unusual monument is installed on the territory of the small Soborny market. The sculpture, which consists of figures of a mirror seller and two female customers in traditional costumes, symbolizes market relations in which bargaining is not only necessary, but also pleasant.

The construction is atypical, there are many of them, so every traveler should see it. And a good tradition is also associated with it - any passer-by can rub the mirror in the hands of the seller so that there is much more happiness in life;

  • Monument to a kitten from Lizyukov street.

The next unusual pedestal is dedicated to the legendary cartoon character and is installed, of course, on the same Lizyukov Street. The sculpture depicts a tree on which a kitten and a crow sit.

In order to come back here again, visitors rub the open paw of the cat and, of course, take pictures next to it;

  • Monument to White Bim Black Ear (Revolution Ave., 50).

The tragic fate of the dog from the story of the same name by the Voronezh writer Gavriil Troepolsky, of course, leaves no one indifferent, which is why the sculpture dedicated to Bim, installed next to the Puppet Theater, is very popular among tourists.

  • Monument to Samuil Marshak (St. Karl Marx, 72).

This is one of the newest sculptures.

The writer, who incredibly loved children and devoted almost all of his work to them, is depicted in great detail - he is wearing a simple coat with a massive collar, kindness and love in his eyes, and next to him is a little girl, as if asking Samuil Yakovlevich to tell some more interesting stories;

Do you know that: To date, Marshak, immortalized in stone, does not exist anywhere else, so it is definitely worth seeing!

  • Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky (K. Marx St., in the park next to the Institute of Physical Education).

The monument depicting Vladimir Semenovich with a guitar, sitting on a chair, is a tribute to the memory of the beloved singer and actor from Voronezh. It is made in the same style as the sculpture in Moscow on Strastnoy Boulevard, but larger in size.

In the evenings in the summer season, musicians gather here and perform their favorite songs of the Soviet bard, read his poems;

  • Monument to the Medical Chair (square next to the building of the regional government, Lenin Square).

This can be said to be the most original monument of the area, which has no analogues in the world. The bronze sculpture, made according to the sketches of Alexander Nozhkin, may well be called a work of modern art.

  • Model of the ship "Mercury" (reservoir zone near the Vogresovsky bridge).

"Mercury" is the first barcalon ship launched from the Ramon shipyard in 1698. Most likely, you have not seen such a monument yet: the fact is that the layout of the "Mercury" is almost impossible to see from the shore, since it is installed on piles right in the water!

Unfortunately, the ship will soon be dismantled due to its deplorable state, but so far you can swim closer to it and have a closer look by renting a boat or boat, or during sea ​​excursions on the ship, which departs every day from the Admiralteyskaya embankment;

  • Museum ship "Goto Predestination" (Admiralteyskaya embankment).

It will not be difficult for you to visit inside the first ship, created by the decree of Peter the Great by local craftsmen - a replica of the ship, recently launched, is moored on the Admiralteyskaya Embankment.

The tour must be booked in advance.

Orthodox sights of the capital of the Chernozem region

We remind you that we are considering a city with a population of one million, so there is a huge number of churches and temples that store relics important for Orthodox Christians. Here are just a few of the religious sites worth visiting:

  • Admiralteyskaya Square and Assumption Church.

Near the parking lot of the ship "Goto Predestination" on Admiralteyskaya Square rises the Assumption Admiralty Church. This is the oldest temple preserved on the territory of the settlement - it was built in the 17th century.

The architectural component of the building is interesting, since it is made in the spirit of classicism, as well as the interior;

Take into account: it is in the Assumption Admiralty Church that the relics of saints are most often brought. So, in the last few years, believers could come here to bow to the relics of the Matrona of Moscow.

  • St. Nicholas Church (St. Taranchenko, 19A).

Another ancient architectural structure is St. Nicholas Church. It is an example of Russian baroque and was built in the 18th century.

The church is located in central area, however, away from noisy roads, therefore, both nearby and inside, it is always quiet. The pearl of this place can be called a particle of the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, which parishioners can bow to;

  • Alekseevo-Akatov Convent (street liberation of labor, 1B).

Incredible architectural solution The monastery is far from the only reason why it is worth visiting. This is one of the historical buildings, since it was laid back in 1620.

It is better to come to the church outside the service, when it is especially quiet here and there is an opportunity to take a walk around the building, admire the polished landscape design;

  • Blagoveshchensky cathedral (Prospect of the Revolution, 18A).

This church is often called a small copy of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which is located in Moscow. The buildings are really similar in design, decoration, massive staircases. The church is also located in the center, so there are always a lot of parishioners here, and during major Orthodox holidays there are always organized public events, orthodox fairs.

The cathedral was built in the Russian-Byzantine style and is very interesting from an architectural point of view, although it was opened relatively recently - in 2009;

  • Intercession Cathedral (St. Bekhtereva, 36).

Unusually beautiful temple. It is located in a quiet area, but there are always many parishioners.

From here opens beautiful view on the city, and in the interior of the church there are many interesting things;

  • Tolshevsky Spaso-Preobrazhensky Convent (microdistrict Tolshi, not far from the railway station "Grafskaya").

Another oldest temple in the region, which was founded in 1646. It is interesting, of course, from a religious point of view - what is called a “prayer place”.

But the ancient architecture will certainly interest travelers. The most convenient way to get here is by train.
