RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
There are many places in Pyatigorsk connected with the poet's life, because he got acquainted with the city as a child, and here his life tragically ended. His last deadly duel took place on the northwestern slope of Mount Mashuk in 1841. A small square was equipped at this place and an obelisk was installed. Pay attention to the fence of the monument, it is made of stone columns in the form of cartridges.
This attraction is not mandatory to visit, but if you are a fan of the writer's work, then you definitely should look here. However, there is an opinion that in fact the duel did not take place here, but almost a kilometer away near the rock Perkalskaya.
