Kola, Administrative center in Murmansk Oblast, Russia
The town stands at the meeting point of the Kola and Tuloma Rivers, 12 kilometers south of Murmansk at an elevation of 60 meters.
The settlement dates back to 1517 when Pomors constructed a fortress at this strategic location, making it the oldest town on the Kola Peninsula.
The Annunciation Cathedral represents regional architectural traditions and serves as one of the first stone structures built in this northern territory.
The town connects to major transportation routes through Murmansk airport and railway station, providing access to Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
The confluence of two rivers creates natural conditions that keep the local port operational throughout winter despite its location within the Arctic Circle.
