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.

Leontyevsky Bridge

🕵️ Urban legend • 🌉 Bridge

Ushakov Street

One of the oldest streets in town, with unusual merchant mansions. It will take you from the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Cross to the former Spasskaya Square.

The “Italian Bridge”

Along the way you're sure to come across a stone arched bridge over the Medvedka River, or rather a brook. It was built in the late 19th century.

Myths and Legends

The myth of how the bridge was built: Andrei Flyagin married Elizaveta Aefyeva, a peasant woman from Romanov-Borisoglebsk District. They moved to St. Petersburg, but Elizaveta began to miss her native land. The couple moved back, and Andrei Flyagin built a brick and tile factory.
