I really liked it. We managed to get inside the Spasskaya Tower. Thanks to Alexander for the tour. I recommend visiting.

Beautiful Syzran Kremlin, it’s very nice to see how city residents cherish the memory of the history of their small homeland) I don’t know about this year, but in the past I even climbed this Kremlin, there was a small museum inside) And in May of this year I heard the beautiful ringing of the Kremlin bells) They rang for a long time, I can’t even say how long, but while the bells were ringing, I managed to walk around the entire embankment) I wonder how often they ring bells in the Syzran Kremlin? Near the Kremlin there is a monument to Voivode Kozlovsky, the founder of the city of Syzran) There is also a small church nearby; standing next to Kozlovsky you can see the golden dome of the Cathedral of the Syzran diocese))

It's nice that a piece of the history of the formation of our state and region has survived and is close by. You can watch and touch this story. I liked the embankment very much. Nicely done, well done!

A great place to relax from the hustle and bustle, and for walking with or without children ? everything is in the same style, which cannot but please the eye! there are coffee houses, where to sit down, where to have a bite, a large playground. Lots of benches. Beautiful view of the river. Along the embankment, you can ride a scooter, roller skates, and bicycles. The embankment is narrow, of course, but there were few people, so pedestrians and cyclists calmly dispersed / diverged) we will definitely come here again. The only negative is the lack of a toilet. Or rather, it is, but it was closed. It is difficult for non-locals to run around nearby establishments in search of the right place)) I had to stop by the nearest gas station on the way back home (150 km). But construction on the embankment itself continues, I think everything will be brought to mind.

A place for walking and relaxation in the historical part of the city. The Kremlin is a visiting card of the city, the only Kremlin on the territory of the Samara region, built in 1683 (the year of foundation of Syzran). The monument to the city's founder, voivode Grigory Kozlovsky, is located next to the Kremlin. The Kremlin offers a beautiful view of the river. Volga, r. Syzranka. Near the Eternal Flame, the Memorial to the Fallen during the Great Patriotic War, the Obelisk-memorial to the Victims of Local Wars, the Church of the Nativity of Christ. You can walk along the embankment, sit on benches, there are excellent photo zones. Almost always this place is visited by newlyweds on the day of marriage registration. On holidays, bells ring on the Kremlin tower. Walks along the embankment and near the Kremlin are available to any category of the population! Within walking distance from the Kremlin on the embankment there are children's and sports grounds, new photo zones, and toilets.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
