Kasimov, Historical town on Oka River in Ryazan Oblast, Russia
Kasimov extends along the left bank of the Oka River at an elevation of 100 meters, containing both Russian Orthodox churches and Tatar architectural elements.
Founded in 1152 by Yuri Dolgorukiy as Gorodets Meschyorsky, the settlement later became the capital of the Qasim Khanate from 1452 until its absorption into Russia in 1681.
The city preserves the heritage of Russian and Tatar populations through its architectural ensemble, including an ancient mosque, mausoleums, and Orthodox cathedrals.
The city maintains regular bus connections with Ryazan, located 165 kilometers to the southwest, as no direct railway service reaches the settlement.
During the 19th century, Kasimov gained recognition throughout Russia for producing skilled waiters who served in Saint Petersburg's finest establishments.
