In the center of Pyatigorsk is the completely preserved «Lermontov House» where he spent the last two months of his life. You must also visit the Verzilins` House where poet Lermontov came every day and where his quarrel with Martynov happened.

Two quarters to the north from the Tsvetnik are the old buildings of Pyatigorsk dating back to the beginning of the 19 century. It is there that a small white house with thatched roof is located. On the way to the Tenginsky Regiment Lermontov and his friend Stolypin decided to stay for some time in Pyatigorsk and rented this house.
