For Browsing

The city of Bolgar in Tatarstan, located on the banks of the Volga River, is a historic settlement of the Volga Tatars, the "Northern Mecca" of the Muslim world. Once, there was an ancient Bulgar fortress here, which in the 13th century transformed into a popular craft and trade hub connecting Rus with the East, and later became the capital of the medieval Golden Horde — Volga Bulgaria.
