Kashira is an old town on the banks of the Oka River in the Moscow region, on the one hand, as if frozen in the distant past, which is reminded of numerous churches and cathedrals, and on the other - closely intertwined with the Soviet period. Buildings in the style of constructivism, the mass of Kashirskaya GRES named after Krzhizhanovsky on the outskirts, mosaics with the image of the proletarians and, to top it off, the sculpture of Lenin create the image of another Kashira, one that has nothing to do with the history of Ancient Rus and the Moscow princes.

The name of the city comes from the name of a small the Kashirki River. Not far from the place where it flowed into the Oka, a settlement was created, which later moved.

History and culture

The first traces of a person's stay in this the terrains date back to the 7th-4th centuries BC. e. Kashirskoye ancient settlement - the oldest settlement of the Diakovo culture, which belongs to the early Iron Age. Its representatives lived in the territories of the Moscow, Tver, Vologda and other regions. The first mention of Kashira can be found in the documents of the 14th century, in the spiritual literacy of the son of the Moscow ruler Ivan Kalita. The war, Tatars raids, plague epidemics led to the city being abandoned and built again on the right bank of the Oka in 1619.

In order to understand where Kashira originally stood, it is enough to see one of the main local sights Troitsky Belopsotsky monastery, founded in the 15th century, on the left bank of the Oka.

However, these were not the latest changes in the structure of the city. In the Soviet period, thanks to the construction of a railway linking Moscow to Kashira, and the state district power station, Novokashirsk, a small town, a staff member serving the station, and part of the area connected with the railway were included in the structure.

Story about Kashira

Districts

Kashira-1 or Staraya Kashira - territory on the left bank of the Oka, Kashira-2 - right bank of the Oka, Kashira-Passazhirskaya - railway station and adjacent territories and Kashira-3 - "sleeping" microdistricts, with a funny nickname "grandfather's hillock". From the point of view of sightseeing and acquaintance with the natural landscape, only two districts are of interest: Staraya Kashira and Kashira 2.

Entertainments, excursions and attractions

Come to Kashira, first of all, to worshipers of religious architecture . Wonderful Uspensky Cathedral (Cathedral of the Success of the Most Holy Theotokos) on Cathedral Square, built in Empire style in the 19th century; Nikitsky nunnery, from which only two buildings have survived to this day - the Nikitsky temple and the Transfiguration of the Savior; The Church of the Presentation of the Theotokos into the Temple or the Vvedenskaya Church on Torgovaya Ploschad (formerly Khlebnaya Square), built in the 19th century, the Church of St. Nicholas Ratny and the Belopesok Monastery constitute the cultural treasure of the city .

Unfortunately, there are almost no museums, except for two local lore. But the residential development of the 19th century was preserved. Fans of constructivism and Soviet architecture should pay attention to the building of the cinema of the 30s. The city school in the Art Nouveau style will remind of the beginning of the 20th century and the upcoming revolutionary events.
