Monument on the border of Europe and Asia in Pervouralsk

The Monument on the border of Europe and Asia in Pervouralsk is a boundary marker located at the geographical dividing line between the two continents. The structure is a vertical column that identifies the exact point where Europe and Asia meet at this location.

The column was built to mark a geographically important point that had been known for a long time before its construction. The area began to develop as an industrial center from the early 1700s onward, which drew attention to this continental boundary line.

The monument draws visitors who want to stand at a symbolic boundary between two continents. For many people, this location holds special meaning as a meeting point of European and Asian territories.

The monument is located about 2 kilometers from the city center and can be easily reached by car, with parking areas available. The site is open to visitors on most days and can be visited without any advance booking.

Many visitors do not realize that at this location you can actually stand with one foot on each continent. This makes it a popular spot for photographs where people can occupy both sides of the boundary at once.
