Trans Siberian Destinations - Ekaterinburg, Russia

Yekaterinburg (or Ekaterinburg), lying at the crossroads of two continents - Europe and Asia, is a capital of the Sverdlovsk region and the administrative center of the Ural district. It was founded under Peter the Great as the largest metallurgical plant in Russia of those times and named after Empress Yekaterina I, the wife of Peter the Great, and Great Martyr Saint Catherine, the patroness of mining. In course of three centuries the city-plant has been steadily developing as a center of mining industry of the Urals and Siberia.
