Monument "Goryanka"

On the ring road is a symbol of the city: a sculpture known as "Goryanka". This monument was created by sculptor Khamzat Krimshamkhalov in 1965. Initially, it was called "Invitation to Karachayevsk", but locals nicknamed it "Goryanka". Originally, the sculpture was made of plaster, but over time it began to deteriorate. After several restorations, it was decided to recreate "Goryanka" from a more durable material. In the summer of 2014, a new aluminum statue created by local sculptor Khasan Dzhurtubaev was installed.
