This mid-nineteenth century building is well preserved. Inside, you can taste the different mineral waters that flow in the region and bear the generic name of "Narzan". You can buy a cup for a few rubles and move from fountains to fountains. Their taste is generally bad, but all Russians will tell you that this is excellent for health. Leaving the gallery, this is the beginning of the park.
