On May 31, the solemn opening of the restored epigraphic monuments preserved in the village of Stary Ballykul in the Alkeyevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan took place. Six epitaphs from the 14th century (five of them are located in the modern cemetery) were restored. Thus, all the Bulgar epigraphic monuments of the Alkeyevsky district from the 13th to the 14th centuries in six settlements were restored, and the surrounding area was improved. Local residents, philanthropists, and people from this village participated in the restoration of the monuments. J.G. Muhametshin, a senior researcher at the Bolgar Museum-Reserve and a specialist in ancient tombstones, took part in the event.
According to legends, pilgrims traveling from Bilyar to Bolgar used to rest in Ballykul. The monuments are accessible and located about half a kilometer from the Bolgar-Bazarniye Mataki road.
