There are many cities and regions in Russia with ancientand a glorious history. And those are by right the Ryazan Region, Spassk-Ryazan. This small town is located 55 kilometers from the administrative center of the region - Ryazan, next to the river Oka.
Много пострадала Русь от набегов the Tatar-Mongol yoke. The Ryazan princedom long held back the enemy. Many heroes of legends and legends, famous in the fight against the invaders, were born here. But in 1237 the city of Ryazan was completely destroyed by the Khan Baty. There was nothing left in the city's place. But in the XV century on this land appeared the village of Spassky, and next - Spassky Zaretsky monastery. The village became its fiefdom, the inhabitants had to provide it with everything necessary. In 1788, the village became a city and became the center of the Spassky district. At this time, industry is beginning to develop, a tannery and a pig iron and ironmaking enterprise are being built.
Now Spassk-Ryazan is an administrativethe center of one of the regions of the Ryazan region - Spassky. It ranks third in the area in the region, having a fairly developed industry and attracting tourists from all over the country. The city has a bakery, a garment factory, a furniture factory, a factory for the manufacture of metal products and a number of other enterprises. And, of course, there is still the oldest production - a tannery.
Но, конечно, далеко не промышленность влечет в Spassk-Ryazan Romantics and historians from other regions. And Old Ryazan. After all, it was near it that Spassk was founded (Ryazan Region). By the way, the second part of the name was assigned to the city only in 1929 to distinguish it from other settlements with a similar name (for example, Spassk-Dalniy). But local residents, and other residents of the region, rarely use the full name in the speech, still calling the city simply Spassky.
Despite the fact that the Old Ryazan was destroyedto the foundation of the Tatar-Mongols, archaeologists still find jewelry, household items, tools of that time, make historical discoveries. Here, role games are regularly held - reconstructions of those glorious times. Members of historical clubs, dressed in accordance with time, hold battles on swords, recreate the life of ancient settlers. Gorodische Staraya Ryazan is a historical monument of federal significance, which the Ryazan region is fully proud of. Spassk-Ryazan is therefore very attractive for tourists.
However, this is not the only reason for popularityand interest. The fact is that the area next to the city is a world heritage. Here is the Oka Biosphere Reserve. UNESCO recognized it as one of the 14 best objects of its kind. And in Russia it is the only place that meets all the requirements of this organization. The reserve possesses the richest flora and fauna, many animals and plants are listed in the Red Book. There are research and experimental works in it, typical natural complexes are preserved, crane and bison nurseries are functioning.

In addition to natural monuments, in the citySpassk-Ryazan there is an interesting museum of G. K. Wagner. He presents a unique historical and archaeological collection of items found during excavations in Old Ryazan.
