Webcam online Sochi. Navaginskaya Street
There are many beautiful places in Sochi, many of which appeared in preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. One of them is the pedestrian Navaginskaya Street. It begins near the Sochi seaport on Kurortny Avenue and ends near the Sochi Railway Station.
The name of Navaginskaya street originates from Navaginskaya fortress. The fortress was founded on April 21, 1838 and was named Fort Alexandria in honor of Empress Alexandra, who was celebrating her birthday on this day. However, on May 15, 1839, because of the coincidence of the name with another fortification (Kabardino - now Kabardinka *), the fort was renamed Navaginsky in honor of the Navaginsky Regiment, formed in Kerch in 1777 and distinguished themselves in the Caucasian War.
Navaginsky fort was repeatedly attacked by Circassians, withstood long sieges. In 1854 Russian troops were forced to leave it because of the events of the Crimean War - the invasion of the Crimea and the siege of Sevastopol. Leaving, the garrison destroyed the fortress.
In 1864 the detachment Dakhovsky again returned to these places and founded at the mouth of the river Sochi post Dakhovsky, which later became a settlement and gave rise to the city of Sochi. Of the remnants of fortress walls Navaga fort were built Michael Archangel Cathedral, the lighthouse and the boarding house Odintsov. The first two buildings survived to this day. Not far from the cathedral there is a small fragment of the old fortress wall.
