Story about my city with pic and an old legend Hello) I live in Russia and everybody knows that it is a huge country. Because of it it has not only 1 capital. There are 2 official capitals more except Moscow. Saint-Petersburg is a Cultural Capital and Kazan (my city) is a Sports Capital. Kazan was called sports capital because it had a lot of international sports events last years. And it is going to have more in the future for example FIFA 2018. Because of this hosting of different events city government carries about beauty of the city, conservation of monuments, reconstruction and cleanliness. Kazan is becoming more and more popular for tourists especially because of clashing of different religions (we even have a Temple of All Religions). My city is really old and it has more than 1000 years history. All old buildings are inside the borders of city center Kremlin. There is a well known legend about one of this buildings. More than 500 years ago one princess lived here. Her name was Suumbike. She was so beautiful that everybody wanted to marry her. And one day one really cruel king came to capture the city. He saw beautiful princess and wanted her to become his wife. She was so terrified to live all her life with this cruel man that she run to the tallest tower and jump from the very top of it. Since that day the tower has a slope. Nowadays it is really popular among ladies because they believe that the tower helps in love. You need to come to this tower touch it with your forehead and make a 3 wishes and your wishes come true. I hope it was interesting for you :)
