Introducing Pyatigorsk
Pyatigorsk, the name being a Russification of Mt Beshtau (Five Peaks), began life as Fort Konstantinovskaya in 1780. It quickly developed into a fashionable resort as it attracted Russian society to its spas and stately buildings. Many of these buildings remain today, making this an attractive town to ramble around and appreciate the bars and restaurants on pr Kirova.
