==History==
The former name of the city was Alabuga. Its history dates back to the 10th century, when a [[Volga Bulgar]] border [[castle]], the so-called Alamir-Sultan castle was built by Bulgar Khan Ibrahim in 985&nbsp;CE. The castle was built on the place of the legendary tomb of Alamir-Sultan ([[Alexander the Great]] "Macedonian"){{vague|date=August 2015}}. The name 'Alabuga' originally referred to the tower of the castle, later the whole city was named Alabuga. The castle was later abandoned, and its remains are now known as ''Shaytan kalasy'' ([[Devil (Islam)|Shaytan]]'s castle).
