In Omsk, 23 religious movements and 85 religious organizations are officially registered. This could not but influence the architecture of old and modern Omsk. The main monuments of religious architecture of Omsk:

The most visited temple is the Holy Assumption Cathedral. It was founded in 1891. One of the most beautiful churches in Russia.

The Siberian Cathedral Mosque was built for the Muslims of Omsk.

It is also worth noting that when recreating the monument, the designers made some changes to its appearance, therefore the modern architectural monument is not an exact copy of its original. One of the urban legends says: if you walk through the gate and make a wish, you can be sure that it will certainly come true.

Jubilee Bridge

While walking around Omsk, it is worth going to the Yubileiny Bridge, which connects the two banks of the Om River. The bridge offers a beautiful panorama of the city and Omsk port, and is also one of the favorite places for walks among residents and guests. It is noteworthy that previously two others were located on the site of the modern Jubilee Bridge. On days of celebration of the most significant events, the Jubilee Bridge is closed to car traffic, making it at the complete disposal of walking residents. According to local legend, under this landmark of Omsk there are several entrances to underground caves. What is inside these them, and where these entrances are, of course, no one knows, and true information about their existence has not been received. However, the legend nevertheless exists to this day.
