Krasnodar, the former Yekaterinodar, is the undisputed economic and cultural heart of the Kuban region in the climatically blessed south of Russia. Founded in 1793 by Black Sea Cossacks on the banks of the Kuban River, the city has developed into one of the most attractive and fastest-growing centers in the country. Known for its fertile black soils, the region is an agricultural powerhouse, which is reflected in the spirited flair of the city and its colorful markets. Krasnodar's architectural landscape combines magnificent pre-revolutionary merchant houses with spacious parks and state-of-the-art sports infrastructure, such as the futuristic FC Krasnodar stadium, which, along with its adjoining park, is considered one of the most beautiful ensembles in Europe.
