Myrhorod city life of the 19th century is reflected in the works of Mykola Hohol, monuments to the writer are erected in front of the railway station building and near the famous "Myrhorod Puddle" - a swan pond in the center of the city. The pond is surrounded by sculptures of Hohol's characters.

As a resort, Myrhorod began to develop after the zemstvo doctor Ivan Zubkovskyi proved the healing properties of Myrhorod mineral water (a monument to the founder of the Myrhorod resort was erected). In 1917, the first water clinic that used the healing properties of "Myrhorodska" mineral water was opened (the building has not been preserved).

The resort area with sanatoriums, water pumps and a beach area on the Khorol River is located in the central part of the city. In the summer, the resort park smells of flowers and refreshes those who are resting with the coolness of the fountains.

A monument to the Georgian poet Davyd Guramishvili, who lived and worked in Myrhorod in the 18th century, was erected.

Myrhorod City Day is celebrated on September 18.

Курорт Миргород на річці Хорол відомий як історичне місто та бальнеологічний курорт.

Існує думка, що за часів Київської Русі тут знаходився сторожовий пункт, де проводилися мирні переговори між сусідніми племенами, звідки й пішла назва.

Перші документальні згадки про Миргород належать до XV-XVI століть. У 1530 році місто отримало Магдебурзьке право, в козацькі часи воно було полковим центром, миргородська фортеця проіснувала до XVIII століття (на її місці розбитий Сквер козацької слави з пам'ятником козакам).

Міський побут Миргорода XIX століття відображений у творчості Миколи Гоголя, пам'ятники письменникові встановлені перед будівлею залізничного вокзалу та біля знаменитої "Миргородської калюжі" - лебединого ставка в центрі міста. Ставок оточують ск ...

Міський побут Миргорода XIX століття відображений у творчості Миколи Гоголя, пам'ятники письменникові встановлені перед будівлею залізничного вокзалу та біля знаменитої "Миргородської калюжі" - лебединого ставка в центрі міста. Ставок оточують скульптури персонажів Гоголя.

Як курорт Миргород почав розвиватися після того як земський лікар Іван Зубковський довів лікувальні властивості миргородської мінеральної води (встановлений пам'ятник засновнику Миргородського курорту). У 1917 році була відкрита перша водолікарня, що використала цілющі властивості мінеральної води "Миргородська" (будинок не зберігся).

Курортна зона з санаторіями, бюветами та пляжною зоною на річці Хорол розташована в центральній частині міста. Курортний парк влітку пахне квітами та освіжає відпочиваючих прохолодою фонтанів.

Встановлено пам'ятник грузинському поетові Давиду Гурамішвілі, що жив і працював в Миргороді в XVIII столітті.

День міста Миргорода відзначають 18 вересня.

Holy Dormition Cathedral

Temple , Architecture

The Holy Dormition Cathedral in Myrhorod is the oldest religious building in the city.

It was built in 1887 on the site of a wooden temple founded in 1648 by the Cossack colonel Matviy Hladky. The temple in the style of classicism was painted by students of Viktor Vasnetsov.

The altar part was decorated with a unique ceramic iconostasis made at the Myrhorod School of Arts and Crafts (now the Myrhorod Ceramic Technical College) - its fragment is exhibited in the technical College museum.

During Soviet times, the Dormition Church was closed, and it fell into disrepair over the years.

In 1998, the cathedral was reconstructed, a belfry was built, and bells were installed (their ringing is considered therapeutic). Now the interior is decorated with modern paintings by Volodymyr Tkachenko.
