Yessentuki Therapeutic Mud Baths: Mud Guarded by Lions

Alekseevskaya mud baths, named after Alexei Nikolaevich, the son of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, was opened in Yessentuki in 1915. The building is made of dolomite stone, decorated with a portal, Roman columns and sculptures of lions killing a snake: it is a symbol of victory over a disease.

After the recent overhaul, the Yessentuki Mud Baths became a popular tourist destination. Guided tours are arranged here twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, during which you can admire the interiors, stained-glass windows, stucco molding and furniture of the XIX century. Guides tell about the history of creating the mud baths and the technological process of preparing mud, which is brought from the Tambukansky Lake and kept in underground storages.
