23)What could attract tourist?

Yekaterinburg is the native sity for me because I was born here and grew up. It is home to my friends and my relatives. I like it here and so is the best city of Yekaterinburg.

The town is famous for its architecture. The city has many palaces and mansions as well as various temples and architectural structures.

Ekaterinburg is also a theatrical centre. There are many theatres, cinemas and palaces of culture and variety shows. The oldest among the theatres is the Opera House, which was built in 1912. One cannot but mention our museums and picture galleries. The Ural Geological Museum is a real treasure-house of the Ural Mountains. It enjoys truly a great popularity because it contains very rich collection of rare minerals and precious stones, which cannot be found anywhere.

24) Interest fact and sights

The builders of the town worked in extremely hard conditions led by talented Russian mining experts: general Genin and captain Tatishchev. This prominent statesman and noted scientist headed the construction. The town was surrounded by wood and all buildings were wooden. But the town grew and developed and, with the time, Ekaterinburg began to play an increasingly important role as an administrative, mining and all-Ural machine-building centre, though it was a provincial town.
