Описание

Ekaterinburg was founded as a town-metallurgical plant, on the banks of the Iset’ river. The name of the river comes from Bashkir language and means “full of fish”. The first building in the city was Water Tower , it is still situated on its place. Right in the middle of the city there is a Dam built in 1723! It is made from larch, so it has never been renovated! The Dam is one the most favourite places for walking, we tenderly call it “Plotinka”. Next to the Dam there’s a monument of fathers-founders of the city: the Generals Vasiliy Nikitich Tatishchev and William George de Gennin. They chose the name for their new town: after Russian tsaritsa-empress Ekaterina the First. The Saint Patroness of the city is St. Ekaterina, who is also the patroness of all the skills and science.
