Yelets, Historic settlement in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia
The city stretches across both banks of the Sosna River, featuring a combination of neoclassical buildings and traditional Russian architecture alongside modern developments.
First mentioned in historical records in 1146, Yelets developed as a strategic fortress during medieval times and served as a crucial defense point against invading forces.
The Municipal Museum of Local History presents extensive collections of regional artifacts, traditional pottery works, and documents detailing the city's development through centuries.
The central railway station connects Yelets with Moscow, Rostov, and other major Russian cities through regular train services operating throughout the day.
Local craftsmen maintain the tradition of Yelets lace making, creating intricate patterns using techniques that date back to the 18th century.
