Brief description

The building of the Kazan Circus looks unusual, but thanks to the architecture you can immediately guess that there is a circus here. An exquisite idea is embodied in the form of a space flying saucer. Famous world troupes come here on tour. This tradition has appeared since the founding of the institution. Entrepreneur and hereditary circus performer Albert Salamonsky invited an Italian circus performer to Kazan. He delighted the audience with solo performances and showed local artists a couple of tricks.

The history of the Kazan Circus is more than 100 years old; in 1924 it received state status. In the 60s, the institution closed due to the emergency condition of the building. The opening of the new building took place in 1967. It was last reconstructed in 2018. It is equipped with modern circus equipment and meets all safety requirements. The circus arena is round, each time it is decorated according to the theme of the performances.
