Excursion to the past

According to one version, the name of the city means "white bride", and all because many years ago the coast was captured by the Turks, who were fascinated by the beauty of local girls. Despite the fact that the city is little more than 150 years old, the history of human settlements here goes back to the distant past. The coast in these parts has been inhabited since ancient times. The settlement of the lower (early) Paleolithic is located a few kilometers from the city and offers us a unique landmark of the city - the dolmens. These are stone, overgrown with moss constructions of an incomprehensible form and an unknown destination, which is more than 200 thousand years old. Perhaps it is the tombs of the ancient nobility or pagan buildings. In any case, they have the strongest energy, and is considered a good sign to visit here and touch them. It is known that the people who left these monuments of culture were quite developed, engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding, traded with the Greeks.

History of foundation

When Slavs and Byzantines appear in the south-eastern territories of the Black Sea coast , they begin to equip their settlements, which in the 12th century were devastated by the Mongol-Tatars. Since the end of the XV century, Turkish rule is firmly established here. On the site of modern Gelendzhik there was a village from which the export of young slaves was carried out.

Three centuries continued the yoke, until in 1829, Russia liberated the Black Sea coast, having won victories in the Russo-Turkish wars. On July 23 (according to the new style of August 4) in 1831 the city of Gelendzhik was founded , whose sights amaze with its antiquity and beauty. One of the first places of interest is the fortress of Gelendzhik, built during the foundation. During the Crimean War the fortress was blown up and abandoned by Russia. In 1857 the fortress was returned by the Russians.

The development of the city in the twentieth century

The population of the city consisted, in the main, of the descendants of peasants from distant lands of Russia, as well as representatives of some other nationalities, in particular Greeks, Poles, Turks, Armenians.
