But do you know about Rudnev, Khomyakov and Beloborodov, have you ever visited Bogucharovo or admired the monumentality of the Sretensky Temple? But all this is located very close to the regional capital – museums and estates are comfortably located in the shade of lime alleys, on the banks of the Oka River. We invite guests and residents of Tula to take a trip to the past – the era of imperial Russia and learn about the activities of its great minds.
