Sviyaga, Natural monument and river in Tatarstan, Russia.
The Sviyaga River stretches 375 kilometers through Ulyanovsk Oblast and Tatarstan, featuring a drainage basin of 16,700 square kilometers.
The river banks near Sviyazhsk hold a 16th-century fortress, constructed in 1551 to support Ivan the Terrible's military operations against Kazan.
The Sviyaga River flows past numerous religious structures, including the Mother of God Dormition Monastery and the Trinity Church of Sviyazhsk.
The river remains frozen from November to April, connecting with seven major tributaries including the Arya, Birlya, Bula, Karla, Kubnya, Sulitsa, and Tosha.
The river's source emerges from multiple springs in the Kuzovatovo region, with the primary outlet flowing from a wood-bog into a deep gully.
