PYATIGORSK

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 676 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PYATIGORSK , a town and watering-place of Russian Caucasia, in the province of Terek, 141 M. by rail N.W. of Vladikavkaz. Pop. (1882), 13,670; (1897), 18,638. It owes its origin to its
mineral
  waters, which have long been known to the inhabitants of Caucasia. The
sulphur
  springs, about fifteen in number, come from a
great
  depth, and vary in temperature from 75 to 96 F.; they are used both for drinking and for bathing. The first buildings were erected in 1812, and in 183o the name of Pyatigorsk (" town of the five mountains ") was given to the new
settlement
 . Its subsequent rapid increase was greatly stimulated by the completion of the railway connexion with Rostov-on-the-Don. The town is charmingly situated on a small
plateau
 , 168o ft. above sea-level, at the foot of the Beshtau, Mashuk and three other outliers of the Caucasus range, which protect it on the north. The snow-covered summits of the Elbruz are visible to the
south
 . The most noteworthy features are a
cathedral
 , a
monument
  to the poet M. Y. Lermontov (1814-1841), and a hydropathic.
