Attractions of Essentuki resort. Mud hospital named after Dr. Semashko.

A fascinating trip through Essentuki begins with a visit to the main historical attractions of the city.

Mud hospital named after Dr. Semashko is a favorite place for many tourists. The building was built in 1911, but still amazes with greatness and attracts with its strict antique style.

At the entrance to the hospital are sculptures of ancient Greek gods: Esculapus – the ancient god of medicine and Gigiea – the goddess of health. On the sides are stone statues of lions. Snakes are compressed in their paws, which symbolizes the victory over any ailments.

Today, a museum and a medical institution are united here.
