Cheboksary is one of the largest Russian cities, and is also the capital of the Chuvash Republic. In 2001, it was awarded the title of the most well-maintained city, which makes Cheboksary also the architectural capital of Russia.
Religious culture and architecture are of great importance for the city. One Orthodox building stands out in particular, which has been appreciated even by UNESCO - the Vvedensky Cathedral, which is equally valuable both for Russia and for the whole planet.
The central street of the city, Efremov Boulevard, is like a copy of the Moscow Arbat, because it is a favorite place for Cheboksary residents to walk. It is believed that this boulevard is the most beautiful place in the Chuvash capital.
What to see in Cheboksary
The Chuvash National Museum was founded in 1921 and is the largest museum in the Republic of Chuvashia.

The Chuvash State Art Museum was founded in 1939 as the Chuvash State Art Gallery after separation from the city regional museum. The museum presents more than 20,000 samples of works of art, including Russian, Soviet and foreign works.
There is also a large collection of Chuvash national art, especially samples of Chuvash decorative and applied art. The building on Kalinina Street, which runs south of Red Square, is the main building of the museum.
The Center for Contemporary Art was originally just an exhibition center of the Union of Artists of Chuvashia.

Museum and monument to Vasily Chapaev. Vasily Chapaev, the famous Soviet commander of the Russian Civil War, was born in 1887 in the village of Budaika, which has since become part of the city of Cheboksary.
After his death in 1919, he acquired legendary status and was later immortalized in Soviet propaganda. This museum, detailing his life and exploits, was opened in 1974 in the gardens bearing his name and contains many documents, photographs and objects related to Chapaev.
The main statue of Lenin in Cheboksary is located on Republic Square, so named because the Soviet-style Parliament building of the Republic of Chuvashia is also located here.

The Church of the Archangel Michael is a cubic church with two columns, built in the early 18th century. In Soviet times, the church was closed, and later it was used as a book depository. In 1993, the building was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and reopened for worship.
The department of Russian and Foreign Art of the Chuvash State Art Gallery is located in the manor house of the early 20th century, which once belonged to the merchant Efremov.

Today, Sespel is considered one of the leading figures of Chuvash-language poetry, and this small museum has two halls that tell about his life and work.

The large cubic structure has five small domes and a separate bell tower.
The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Convent is located on a hill known as Vladimirskaya Gorka, at the very end of Cheboksary Bay. The main church of the monastery was the Church of Our Lady of Vladimir, and the version that has survived to this day dates back to 1716.
