About Tsentralnyi
Where to stay in Tsentralnyi
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Museums set the terms here. The Mariupol Museum of Local Lore, the Museum of Folk Life (Mariupol) and the Efim Harabet Museum of Medal Art all fall inside Tsentralnyi, so a room taken on this side of Mariupol puts three separate collections within one walk. Churches follow.
Saint Konstantin and Elena Orthodox Church in Mariupol and the Catholic Church Mariupol stand on the same district list, and the Houses with spire, Mariupol give the streets between them their one piece of catalogued architecture.
About Tsentralnyi
What are the main landmarks in Tsentralnyi?
This raion collects more statues than museums. The Monument to the young Kuindzhi, the Monument to Vladimir Korolenko in Mariupol, the Vladimir Vysotsky monument in Mariupol and the Monument to Ukrainian border guards in Mariupol are each catalogued on their own inside Tsentralnyi. Two mark events rather than people: the Monument to the victims of Holodomor and political repressions, Mariupol, and the Memorial sign to Kalmius palanka in Mariupol.
The Houses with spire, Mariupol stand apart from all of it, a piece of architecture on a list otherwise made of statues, plaques and churches.
What is the history of Tsentralnyi?
No founding year is recorded for the district. What stands instead is a register of memory, where the Memorial sign to Kalmius palanka in Mariupol is listed beside the Monument to the victims of Holodomor and political repressions, Mariupol, and neither carries a date on the district's own record. People are marked one by one.
The Monument to the young Kuindzhi, the Monument to Vladimir Korolenko in Mariupol and the Monument to Vysotsky in Mariupol each single out a figure, while the Mariupol Museum of Local Lore keeps the written account of the city around them.
Where is Tsentralnyi?
