Abakan, Regional capital in southern Siberia, Russia.
Abakan stands at the meeting point of the Yenisei and Abakan rivers, surrounded by mountains and valleys in the Minusinsk Depression.
The settlement began as Abakansky ostrog in 1675, receiving city status and its current name in 1931 when it became the capital of Khakassia.
The Khakas National Museum displays artifacts from ancient civilizations, including remnants of a Chinese-style palace discovered during road construction in 1940.
The Abakan International Airport and railway junction connect the city to major destinations across Siberia and Central Asia.
Archaeological excavations near Abakan revealed burial mounds and megaliths in an area known as Russia's Valley of Kings.
