        🌅 Vysotsky viewing platform
        ул. Малышева, 51
        🎟 ticket
        An open platform behind tall glass on the 52nd floor, 186 metres up: the whole city from above — the pond, the Plotinka, the towers of Yekaterinburg City; on a clear day you can see for 25 km.
        Go up by 18:00 — at the end of October it’s already dark and the city is lit up. The platform is open until 21:00, the ticket office until 20:30; it’s windy at the top.

        • Until 2015 it was the tallest building in Russia outside Moscow.
        • For a time Vysotsky was considered the northernmost skyscraper in the world.
        • The building was named after Vladimir Vysotsky on 7 September 2010; before that it was called Antey-3.

        • The house is named after Nikolai Sevastyanov, who owned it from 1860.
        • In 1866 the façades were rebuilt to a design by Alexander Paduchev — in an eclectic style with Gothic and Baroque touches.
        • From 1874 it housed the District Court, and after the revolution the House of Trade Unions.
        • In 2008–2009 the house was restored for the SCO and BRIC summits.
        • The house appears on the 2023 series 5,000-rouble banknote.

        • The dam on the Iset was completed on 11 September 1723 — the city’s history is counted from it and from the state ironworks.
        • Construction began on the decision of Vasily Tatishchev and was finished under Georg Wilhelm de Hennin.
        • It was designed by Leonty Zlobin, the dam master of the Nevyansk ironworks: a log frame packed with stone and clay.
        • The Main Prospekt — now Prospekt Lenina — was laid along the axis of the dam.
        • In 1972–1973 the dam was faced with granite and decorated with bas-reliefs about the Ural metalworkers.
        • In 1998 a passage was made under the dam from the lower terrace of the square — the builders were surprised at how well the old structure had survived.
