History and geographical location
In 1709, Peter I issued a Decree, according to which the Bikatunsky fort was required to be founded at the confluence of the Biya and Katun rivers. This task was completed. The Bikatun fort was founded to protect the southeastern borders and trade routes of the Russian Empire. In subsequent years, the fortress was destroyed, restored, and rebuilt several times. At the end of the 17th century it was elevated to the rank of “regular” cities. This is how Biysk appeared.
Several centuries have passed since its founding. During this time, the city turned into a large industrial and scientific center. It has an advantageous geographical location. Biysk is located in the southeastern part of the Altai Territory. Barnaul is 163 km north. This is the capital of the Altai Territory. Near the city there is the confluence of the Biya and Katun. Water resources are used in the housing and communal services sector, agriculture, industry and tourism. Rivers have a negative impact during spring floods. The areas of Biysk located next to them are slightly flooded during this period.

Biysk on the map of Russia: geography, nature and climate
If you look at a map of Biysk from a satellite, you can see that the city lies on both banks of the Biy River, between which there are 3 bridges. The right part is characterized by meadow terrain, while the left part, lying in a lowland, is adjacent to a pine forest. Relative to the regional center - Barnaul, Biysk is located 163 km southwest. The closest borders are with Mongolia (617 km) and Kazakhstan (210 km).
Biysk is located in a zone of temperate continental climate in a forest-steppe zone, but this territory is characterized by severe cold winters and hot summers. Studying the topographic map, it becomes clear that severe frosts are explained by the location in the funnel between mountain ranges, which contribute to a decrease in precipitation and weakening winds in the area. The lack of wind also affects high temperatures in summer, increasing the amount of precipitation during this period.
- The average temperature for the year is 3 °C, the maximum is +38.9 °C, the minimum is 51.8 °C.
- Average air humidity – 71%
- Average wind speed – 2 m/s

State of Medicine
It is impossible to be a modern and successful city without developed healthcare. In a science city it is at the proper level. Clinics and state-owned hospitals provide medical care to people in the city of Biysk. It is especially worth noting that the procedure for making an appointment with a doctor is now being improved. They are actively introducing modern technologies. For example, you can now sign up for the Biysk Consultation and Diagnostic Center remotely through the public services portal.
There are many private medical clinics in the city that operate legally and have all the necessary documents for medical activities. Dental clinics and offices are actively developing. In private clinics, modern materials, the latest equipment and new technologies are appearing, allowing for better treatment.
Places worth visiting
Museum of Local Lore named after. V.V. Bianki is the place in the city of Biysk where you can get to know the history of the settlement and its cultural heritage. The institution was opened in 1920. One of the founders was V.V. Bianchi. It is his name that the museum bears today. The work of this institution began with the receipt of several collections from the zemstvo government and the natural history office of the Altai People's University. Subsequent work made it possible to increase the number of exhibits.
Today, the museum’s collections contain collections of stuffed animals and birds of Altai, herbariums, unique collections of weapons, samovars, shamanic tambourines and other interesting items. Important documents of the past, works of artists from Biysk and the Altai Territory are offered to visitors. The museum has a special music and exhibition salon. It regularly hosts interesting evenings, lectures and concerts, festive events, and thematic excursions.
For lovers of performances and acting productions, a city drama theater has been created in Biysk. The prehistory of this institution began back in 1887, when Narodnaya Volya member L.P. Yeshin organized the first theater group of lovers of dramatic art. This later led to the creation of the theater. The official date of its foundation is 1939. Today the theater stages performances for both children and adults. A special advantage of the institution is the availability of a variety of costumes and decorations. They provide a high aesthetic level of theatrical productions.
City attractions
Biysk is a modern city with a huge number of shops, shopping centers, entertainment, but it also has historical places and cultural attractions. Monuments and ancient buildings can be found in almost every district. Most of the attractions are concentrated in the historical center. In this area of the city of Biysk there is a park named after. Garkavogo is a favorite place of many townspeople. Here you can admire the equestrian monument to Peter I. It was installed in 2010. Nearby is a sculpture of Peter and Fevronia, which is a symbol of long and faithful love, a strong family.
The most important and important attraction of the city is the square in memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War with an eternal flame. About 25 thousand Biy residents defended their homeland from the fascist invaders. Unfortunately, half of the people were not destined to return back to Biysk - our fellow countrymen died on the battlefields.
Coat of arms
The coat of arms of Biysk is presented in the form of a French shield. It is divided horizontally into two equal parts. At the top is the Tomsk (vicarious) coat of arms. On a green field there is a silver horse galloping to the left of the viewer. The animal embodies power and rapid development.
At the bottom there is a golden mountain on a blue background. In its depths there is a shaft and drifts of a mountain mine. They symbolize the territory's richness in mineral resources and their processing.
The regulation on the coat of arms of the municipality was approved on March 28, 2008 by the City Duma.
Interesting buildings
In the old center of the city of Biysk on Sovetskaya Street there is a marvelous architectural structure - the majestic white stone Assumption Cathedral. The first work on its construction began at the end of the 19th century. The building was made in pseudo-Russian (Byzantine) style. The erected temple functioned until 1932. Then it was closed for several years. Grain was stored in the building during this period. The re-opening of the church took place in 1947. Today the cathedral is operational.
It is impossible to tell about all the interesting buildings, because there are so many of them. Let's take a closer look at the building of secondary school No. 4 in the city of Biysk, the photo of which is presented below. This educational institution with the status of a school was opened in 1904 by order of Nicholas II in the historical part of the city (Kazanka). In 1911, the educational institution acquired a new building on Arkhiereyskaya Street (now Shevchenko). During the war, an evacuation hospital operated here, as evidenced by the memorial plaque. Today the building houses a school. In 2004, it celebrated its centenary.
At first glance, Biysk seems to be a simple and unremarkable city. In reality this is not the case. Today it is considered the locomotive of innovative development of the region and the country as a whole. Important enterprises and organizations operate there, there are effective educational institutions, and history and culture have been preserved. The administration of the city of Biysk will do everything necessary for its development. Systematic work will make it possible to preserve and effectively use production, scientific and technical potential, and create comfortable conditions for the life and creativity of city residents.

Residents of Biysk call their planetarium a “dome”, the reason for this is the shape of the building in which it is located. Its premises are decorated with images of the night sky and scenes of space exploration.
In the windows, instead of ordinary glass, stained glass windows with panoramas of galaxies are installed. In the halls there are models of spaceships made by students of the local astronomical club.
The equipment was donated to the planetarium by the first cosmonauts who trained here. The devices were brought from Germany, from the Zeiss plant. Yuri Gagarin learned to navigate in outer space using them.
Using the telescope, visitors can see more than 6,000 stars at an altitude of 500 kilometers.
