Kungur was founded seventeen kilometers above the Iren River's mouth on the banks of the Kungurka River in 1648. In 1662, it was burnt by Bashkirs. In 1663, it was rebuilt as a fortress on the place of Mysovskoye village. In 1674, it withstood a siege by Yemelyan Pugachev's Cossack forces. In the beginning of the 18th century, leather and footwear industries started to develop here, and in 1724, a tannery was built. By the mid-18th century, Kungur became one of the most populated areas in the Urals. In 1759, Perm administration of mining plants was moved to Kungur.

Hi, Serghei,
Wonderful door of the historic building.
I like the columns and the very unusual brick pattern. Excellent shot.

Hello Serghei,
I notice the decorations made in red bricks!
The columns are notable too, the stonework still stands but the door itself seems to be in decay...
The scene is well framed, good colours and detyails1
Greetings,
