Highlights

Iron church, patriarchate, outside the synagogue, antique shops, baking aromas—a thread weaving the story of "marginalized groups at the empire's edge"
The colorful houses are not filters: they are a blend of late 19th-century residences, contemporary artists, longtime residents, and feline sovereignty.
