Nowadays, the city is a large industrial center where radio components, special transport for municipal purposes, equipment for various industries and much more are produced.

Historical sketch
Founded in 1578 as a fortress (probably on the site of the ancient Mordovian-Erzya settlement, destroyed in 1366 by the Bulgar prince Bulat-Temir), on a place called the Mordovian Arzamas settlement. Settlements were built near the fortress: Soldatskaya, Streletskaya, Traveling Cossacks.
[Another version??] After the capture of Kazan by Ivan IV the Terrible, a wooden fortress with towers was built here, and in 1555 the Transfiguration Monastery was built in Arzamas.
The name is from the Mordovian personal name Arzemas (Arzamas, Orzemas), which is repeatedly found in scribe books and other sources of the 17th century. This name is based on the Mordovian Erzya arsems, the Mordovian Moksha arsems “to think, to desire,” i.e. it means “desired” and is not related to the ethnonym Erzya.
Thanks to its favorable geographical location, Arzamas became a significant trading center (sale of bread, onions, poultry, livestock). Leatherworking, furriery, lard making, felting, blacksmithing, saddlery and other crafts developed in the city.

In 1856, in the district town of Arzamas, Nizhny Novgorod province, there were 35 churches, 1289 houses, 186 shops.
From the middle of the 19th century. Due to the movement of transit routes due to the construction of railways away from the city, the development of Arzamas slowed down.

Architecture, sights
The planning structure of Arzamas took shape at the end of the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries. (based on the 1781 project, revised after the fire of 1823). From the vast market square, monasteries and churches that took the place of the ancient fortified part of the city, the streets of the upper part of the city fan out. On the other side of the Soroka River there are regular neighborhoods. The streets of the lower part of the city are organized into a strict beam of rays.
On the territory of the Spassky Monastery, founded in 1556, the five-domed Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral (1643) has been preserved.
On the slopes of the hill there is the Elias Church (1746, now the Museum of Local Lore), on the central square there is a baroque building of the former magistrate (second half of the 18th century). At the top of the coastal hill, the dominant feature of the five-domed classic Resurrection Cathedral (1814-42, architect M.P. Korinthsky), at the cathedral is the Church of the Life-Giving Spring (1794, transition from Baroque to Classicism), and a Baroque bell tower.
In the style of classicism according to the “model project” of the 19th century. the so-called building was built exchanges (Trading rows, late 18th - early 19th centuries).
