Park "Riviera" Sochi, history
The park was founded at the end of the 19th century by a descendant of Russian industrialists V.A.Khludov, who at that time was developing the infrastructure of the Black Sea coast. At first, it was a gradually expanding park with many vineyards, and at the beginning of the twentieth century it was acquired by the Sochi city treasury and gave the place the status of a public park complex. Before the Great Patriotic War, the park was reconstructed, after which it was named "Riviera".
Plants of the park
Riviera is rich in flowering plants. On the territory of almost 15 hectares, more than 240 species of various plants grow, among them there is a tree planted by Valentina Tereshkova herself.
At the entrance, all guests of the park can enjoy an interesting view of the clock in the form of a pearl, and then the Central Alley begins, which is surrounded by beautiful plants and fascinating attractions.
