Pyatigorsk, Spa resort in Stavropol Krai, Russia
The city sits along the Podkumok River in the northern Caucasus Mountains, surrounded by five peaks that inspired its name at 500 meters elevation.
Founded in 1780 near Konstantinogorskaya fortress, Pyatigorsk developed into a therapeutic center after receiving official recognition as a health spa in 1803.
The Lermontov House museum preserves the final residence of the Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov, who died in a duel near the city in 1841.
The urban center maintains over 40 mineral springs with different chemical compositions and temperatures, supporting numerous health facilities and therapeutic establishments.
Mount Mashuk features natural underground grottoes and a cable car system that takes visitors to panoramic viewpoints at 993 meters above sea level.
