городское поселение Таруса

Few towns in Kaluga Oblast have a history as closely tied to Russia’s literary and artistic life as Tarusa. Set where the Taruska meets the Oka, the town occupies a high bank above one of central Russia’s great rivers, with wooded slopes and broad water meadows shaping its setting. Writers and painters came here for its quiet riverfront and provincial pace; Konstantin Paustovsky made Tarusa his home, and his former house is now a museum. The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is a landmark of the historic centre. Its modest scale is part of the appeal: lanes descend toward the Oka rather than into a monumental urban core.
