Romanov-Borisoglebsk changed its name to Tutaev only in 1918, in honor of a Red Army soldier killed during the Yaroslavl Uprising. The Volga divides the town into two unequal parts, with the right bank much larger. But that doesn't mean there's nothing to see on the left. Let's stroll past the main sights of the left bank.

Point 5
🔭 Viewpoint
The fire tower was built in the early 20th century for the firefighters. From its height of 25 meters (82 feet), any fire in the town could be spotted. We're in luck: the tower is excellently preserved and is still the tallest building in town. Today you can visit it as a viewing platform, even with the Pushkin Card (a Russian cultural program for young people).
The fire tower made an appearance in Leonid Gaidai's film “The Twelve Chairs.”
The fire tower was a favorite of the gymnasium students. A white flag was hung from it as a sign that classes were canceled when the frost was colder than the permitted limit.
