About 70 million years ago, the Mediterranean folded belt was formed in its modern form. It separates the southern group of ancient platforms, which constituted the supercontinent Gondwana until the middle of the Jurassic period, from the northern group, which formerly constituted the continent of Laurasia and the Siberian platform.
This belt includes the southern regions of Europe, Northwest Africa, Alps, Carpathians, Crimea, Caucasus, Persian mountain systems, Kopet Dag, Pamir, Himalayas, Tibet, Indochina and Indonesian islands.
Markoth Range
The Markoth Range is a mountain range in the northwestern part of the Greater Caucasus, running parallel and south of the Main Caucasus Range.
Tuaphat Range
On the section between Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik in the Kabardinka region, there is a low Tuaphat ridge, which is the best preserved part of the first coastal ridge. On the Abrau Peninsula, its continuation is the Navagir Ridge, south of the Gelendzhik Bay (at the mouth of which it went under water) its torn continuation can be traced to Cape Idokopas (the village of Praskoveevka).
Part of the ridge is Mount Doob northwest of the center of Gelendzhik - 434.4 m. The ridge is cut through the valleys of 10 rivers, the largest of which - Yashamba - has a constant flow and flows into the Blue Bay of the Black Sea. The remaining streams (Pine Gap, etc.) are temporary.
It is composed of Tuaphat mainly sedimentary rocks of the Cretaceous period: sandstones, limestones, clays. But the backbone of the ridge is marl.
The slopes of the ridge are covered by Pitsund pine, oak, hornbeam, scumpia, dogwood, blackberry, rose hips, hoarder and other typically Mediterranean xerophytes and ephemeris. Herpetofauna includes the following species: Nikolsky's turtle, medium lizard and olive snake. The flora and fauna of the ridge are actively studied by the Southern Branch of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences located at its foot.
On the flat top of the ridge, the remains of mounds and burial grounds of tribes that inhabited this territory in antiquity were found. Zikha left behind burials of the V - VII centuries AD. e., from the VIII to the middle of the XIX centuries. Natukhai and Shapsugi during burials usually performed the rite of urn corpse burning. The most famous is the Borisov burial ground - a monument of Black Sea archeology of the VI-IX centuries. In the KhІKh century, after the mass departure of the Circassians to the Ottoman Empire, the slopes of the ridge were inhabited by Russian immigrants, as well as Greeks and Armenians from the Ottoman Empire.

Administration
The Gelendzhik administration building used to be a hotel.
Nazirov bought land for a future hotel at the beginning of the twentieth century for 8,000 rubles. On the one hand, it was an expensive and risky investment, and on the other hand, the very center of the city, where there are literally a couple of tens of meters to the sea, and the most significant buildings of that time were located around.
In 1904, the grand opening of the Central Hotel took place. It was a beautiful stone two-story building with elegant balconies with 15 rooms (later 25 more rooms were completed). Rooms cost from 40-50 kopecks for the simplest up to 2.5 rubles for comfortable, furnished and overlooking the sea.
In addition to the hotel, the building had a dining room and shops.
Many people stayed at the hotel, including the famous Russian writer V. G.Korolenko.⠀
After the 1917 revolution, the basements of the building housed storage facilities in which inventory and food products of the resort administration were stored. Since 1921, a point was organized for the reception and distribution of vacationers.
During the 1942-43 war, the building was bombed by fascist bombers and for a long time it stood destroyed.
In 1959, according to the project of the famous Krasnodar architect N.P. Sukhanovskaya, this building was reconstructed and rebuilt.
In the 1980s, the building was lengthened and the 3rd was added etazh.⠀
Since the 1990s, it has housed the administration of the resort city of Gelendzhik.
