| Kazan is a capital of Tatarstan. The city was separated into two parts - the upper city with Kremlin where Russian noblemen, merchants and negotiantes used to live. The other part is lower city so-called Old and New Tatarsky districts, where Tatarian tradesmen and peasants settled as infields cultivated from middle ages were always close to outskirts of lower city. The bound between upper and lower cities, actually the bound between East and West, goes along river Burlak and chain of lakes - Near, Middle and Distant Kaban (wild boar). The parts of the city on sides of this water bound developed differently, brightly and each in original way. This fact is always of great impression for the city guests. Nowadays Kazan is considered a meeting point for East and West. That is why the city has two origins that are seen on every crossing and every corner of its streets. Here these origins are pressed and became friends, together they took shape of something special and individual. | click here to see the map of Kazan |
