Pyatigorsk: the oldest resort in Russia through the eyes of my wife

The territories on which the resort is now located used to belong to the Ottoman Empire. As a result of the peace treaty of 1774 between Russia and Turkey, the local lands came under the Russian Empire's jurisdiction. Before the foundation of the city, there was a military fortification here. Later, hot sulfur springs were discovered in the vicinity of the fortification. From this period, the development of the resort begins. The Russian Empire spared no expense for the development of the resort. Foreign experts are invited to the city. In the vicinity of the Pyatigorsk town, colonists' settlements from Scotland, Germany, and Italy appear. The principal architects of the city were immigrants from Switzerland and England. By the end of the 19th century, Pyatigorsk became the most fashionable and prestigious resort in the Russian Empire. The city's development is the Russian analog of the conquest of the Wild West in North America. Only for the Russian Empire, it was the "Wild South." By the middle of the 20th century, the city lost its former glory as of the country's top resort, yielding the palm to the subtropical city of Sochi.    • Subtropical Russia: City of Sochi   My gear: I get a commission every time you purchase a product through my affiliate links below Sony Action Cam FDR-X3000 - https://amzn.to/3vkc0Vr (Amazon) Sony SLT-A65V - https://amzn.to/3NStvme (Amazon) Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO HSM - https://amzn.to/48FHkfF (Amazon)
