Between Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk is a small resort village Kabardinka. It houses an Old Park that has become become a very popular attraction for tourists who spend their holidays on the Black Sea coast from Gelendzhik to Anapa. Every day many tourists come here to visit this place.
The Old Park in Kabardinka was founded in 2007 by Alexander Alekseev. It is a theme Park where pavilions and monuments from different eras, from different countries of the world, in different architectural styles are constructed on a small area. There are Egyptian pyramids, an ancient Greek temple with a statue of Zeus, a Gothic tower of a medieval castle, a Japanese Shinto temple, an Orthodox chapel of St. Nicholas and much more. In total, more than 20 buildings were built in the Old Park in the middle of a beautiful landscape park.
Some of them have small expositions. For example, the House of the Caucasus is similar to a Georgian temple, but it also has elements of a Caucasian fortress. Inside you can see a small Museum. The House of the East with its beautiful dome and minarets is similar to a mosque, but it also has elements of an Oriental Palace. There is also a small exposition inside.
The Aqueduct, which is a landmark in itself, looks very beautiful, and water is supplied to the Old Park for irrigation. There are pavilions in the modernist style of neoclassicism. A small theater has been built in front of the entrance, where concerts and performances are regularly held. Unlike many parks where attractions are built "in miniature", all the pavilions and buildings of the Old Park in Kabardinka are full-size.
