This route introduces the difficult fate of Syzran's religious buildings. Before the revolution the town had 22 churches, two monasteries, and a theological school. Five old churches have survived to this day, forming a kind of Triangle of Faith. Learn more with Susanin's route.

The “Eternal Flame” memorial to those who died in the Great Patriotic War. It was opened in 1991 on the 50th anniversary of Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union. It was created by a group of Leningrad artists: the sculptor N. Stogova and the architect V. Raputov.
Built by the Syzran enterprise Arsenal in 1994 and opened in 1995. Architect: E. I. Chesnokov.
Syzran paid a heavy price in the war: of the 17,000 who went to the front, 10,000 did not return. In 1983 a monument to those who fell for the freedom and independence of the Motherland was erected on the town's main square. During the Great Patriotic War, Syzran had 11 military hospitals. Those who died of their wounds were buried in the town's second cemetery. On May 9, 1985, the remains of 1,411 people were moved from the old cemetery to the grounds of the Syzran Kremlin.
The initiators of its construction were members of the Regional Public Foundation of Syzran Helicopter Pilots and of the public organizations “Combat Brotherhood” and “Chernobyl Union,” with the participation of the Syzran Administration and local institutions, businesses, and public organizations, and with voluntary donations from the people of Syzran, other Russian cities, and CIS countries.
This is a monument to the soldiers of Syzran who died in the local wars of the 20th and 21st centuries. On May 5, 2015, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of Victory over fascism in the Great Patriotic War, the Monument of Glory to the Soldiers Who Died in Local Wars was unveiled, honoring those who gave their lives doing their duty to defend the Fatherland in the “hot spots” of “undeclared” wars.
The sculpture is a 5-meter (16-foot) stele whose granite slabs bear the names of 74 Syzran natives killed or missing in action who took part in the fighting in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Czechoslovakia, and the North Caucasus, and in the cleanup after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
