Miskhor Park
Miskhor Park is a monument of landscape art, it was installed earlier than the other Crimean parks - at the end of the XVIII century. There on the area of 23 hectares there are nearly 100 kinds and forms of exotic trees and bushes. The groups of trees atternate with the glades in the landscape park. Arizona and Guadelupe cypresses, Aleppo and Coulter pines, palms, bamboos, oleanders, are neighbours with local forest kinds (pubescent oak, Crimean pine, pistache amblyophyllous). The colour-musical fountain works in the park. Nobody would pass by the two sculptural groups: they are bronze "Rusalka" (Mermaid) and fountain "The girl Arzy and robber Ali-baba" built on the seaside, both of them were made by motives of Crimean tatar legends. They radiate one of the many moments of abduction of the girls by Turkish pirates and selling of them into the harems of Stambul pashas and beys. The sculpture "Rusalka" (Mermaid) is the third. The first one belonged to the famous Estonian sculptor A.G.Adams and became a victim of the storm on the Black Sea. The second one depicted the mermaid with a baby in her hands and fish tail, its composer is unknown, the date of its statute is unknown too. At the beginning of 1980 during the beach measuring the mermaid had to be removed and she lost her tail and hand. Then there was taken the solution to safe restored original as the museum thing and to install the new sculpture shot from bronze at Miskhor seaside. The third mermaid is bigger than the previous ones; it was made in Kiev and in 1984 it was installed on the big four-metres boulder found in the district of Maly Mayak. But strictly speaking now she is not a mermaid but a mother with baby because this sculpture has not enough poetry.
