In 2010, a new attraction appeared in Pyatigorsk. This is a wooden temple of the Three Saints.
A few words should be said about the city itself: it is located at the foot of Mount Mashuk, which rises above the city from the east. The Beshtau mountain range is visible in the distance to the north. Literally translated, this means “five mountains.”
Hence the name - Pyatigorsk.
