Kudykina gora park, Lipetsk oblast | Ph: alexkhripushkin

Panorama of Lipetsk in the Tambov Governorate (Russia, 1860). Lipetsk is now the administrative centre of Lipetsk Oblast.

In the foreground of the photo is Church Street (now Leo Tolstoy Street), which leads to the Ascension Church in which Maria Alexeevna (Pushkin's grandmother) married Osip Hannibal.  The two-storey wooden building with a mezzanine, on the far right behind the houses, is the official hotel of the Lipetsk Mineral Waters resort.

In the background is the Nativity of Christ Cathedral, on top of Petrovsky Hill.  Further down the hill is a cast-iron monument to Peter the Great.
