Ufa, Capital city in Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia

Located at the confluence of Belaya and Ufa rivers, this urban center spans 708 square kilometers with seven administrative districts across its territory.

The city originated in 1574 when Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible ordered construction of a fortress to establish control over the Bashkir territories.

The Monument of Friendship, consisting of two 35-meter pink granite columns, represents the historical alliance between Russian and Bashkir communities since 1557.

The international airport connects with multiple Russian cities, while the central railway station provides direct connections to Moscow within a 24-hour journey.

The Salavat Yulaev Monument stands as the largest equestrian statue in Russia, weighing 40 tons and balanced on three support points.
