Tatarstan

Tatarstan stretches from the Volga River in the west to the Kama River in the east, encompassing fertile plains, forests, and wide river valleys. This republic in central European Russia is shaped by the meeting of Tatar and Russian traditions, visible in its languages, food, and religious architecture. Kazan, the capital, stands beside the Volga and is home to the UNESCO-listed Kazan Kremlin, where the white-stone Annunciation Cathedral and the Kul Sharif Mosque stand within the same historic complex. Farther south, Bolgar recalls the medieval Volga Bulgar civilisation. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Tatarstan.
