Creating initially as a trading place, they, as the city developed, acquired a different purpose and, accordingly, individuality. There are a lot of them on the plan of the guide. We will visit only a few of the most noteworthy.

Cathedral Square

Peter the Great at the time of the Azov campaigns chose this place because of the favorable location in the lower reaches of the Don. The protective structures built here would reliably cover the lands of the Russian Empire from troubled neighbors - the Turks and Tatars. But the construction of the fortress took place only by the decree of Catherine the First in 1761, and it was named in honor of Metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl Dimitry, which gave the name of the city.

является его историческим центром. The oldest square in Rostov-on-Don is its historical center. The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in 1860 instead of the wooden church burnt on this place, decorates the square. Today it is the main Cathedral of the city.

, который был разрушен в 1924 году. In 1890, the citizens collected money on their main square on the main square of the monument to the Tsar-Liberator Alexander II , which was destroyed in 1924. At the very end of the last century, a beautiful monument reappeared here, but already St. Dimitry of Rostov. This is one of the few monuments to the saints in Russia.

At all times there was a city bazaar. Rostovans, keeping traditions, still go here to the Central city market.

Square of Soviets

, известная в XIX веке как площадь Нового Базара. This is one of the central squares of Rostov-on-Don , known in the XIX century as the area of the New Bazaar. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the main building of the ensemble, was demolished after the revolution. During the war, most of the buildings were destroyed, and the appearance of the square was created anew.

Today it is a green island in the heart of the boiling city. High trees along the perimeter, well-kept flower beds and paved paths attract townspeople here. Here it is customary to meet and take a leisurely stroll, admiring the flowering of planted plants.

Sculptural composition of the memory of the Red Army soldiers, centered on the horse Marshal of the USSR S. Budyonny, surrounded by his subordinates, is made by the famous sculptor EV Vuchetich.

Theater Square in Rostov-on-Don

Once the place, located on the outskirts, on the city wasteland, has now become the main, most significant area of the city. Holidays, events, parades, concerts, fireworks and much more that is held here today, attracts tens of thousands of citizens. Of course, this is the most beautiful, well-groomed and attractive place for tourists and local residents.

Theater Square in Rostov-on-Don is easy to find on the visible from afar 42-meter stele of the memorial dedicated to the liberation of the city from the fascists. At the very top of the song are the goddess of victory Nika and the Order of the Patriotic War.

The square bearing the name of the Revolution at the beginning was renamed in the middle of the thirties of the last century after the completion of the construction of a new building for the Drama Theater. A. M. Gorky. The first thing that strikes at the inspection is that the theater building is made in the form of a caterpillar tractor. For the unusual shape of his copy was exhibited in England, in the Museum of Architecture.

Not far from the theater there is a complex of fountains created by the sculptor EV Vuchetich. An architectural monument is also the building of the North Caucasian Railway Administration, built in the early twentieth century.

The area is always crowded. It's nice to walk, admire the beauties of the city, relax in one of the many cafes or restaurants.

Working area

находится в Железнодорожном районе города. The working area of Rostov-on-Don is located in Zheleznodorozhny district of the city. Surrounded mainly by residential buildings of old construction, it is a recreation area, rather even a small square, in which locals come. A circular traffic of cars is organized around the square, and the square itself, like an island of safety and tranquility, invites for a walk. There are children's playgrounds, pavilions selling drinks and ice cream, and fountains. The area is old, habitable, so very green and cozy. In the surrounding houses there are numerous shops and services that ensure the normal life of people.

Komsomolskaya square in Rostov-on-Don

The city-fighter with a respectable military past has endured all the hardships with his country. Numerous sculptural ensembles, memorials and monuments have captured this memory. города в 1969 году по инициативе комсомольцев была установлена черная мраморная стела, посвященная подвигу молодых ребят-ростовчан в Отечественной войне. On one of the squares of the city in 1969, on the initiative of the Komsomol members, a black marble stele was erected dedicated to the feat of young Rostov children in the Patriotic War. The square also became known as Komsomolskaya. You can not look without pain on the remains of a bas-relief depicting a wounded young guy clutching a weapon in his hands, in which there are no more cartridges left. A lot of people died on the Rostov land, closing themselves from the Nazis "gate to the Caucasus." I would like to hope that someday the restored stele will be a worthy monument to those who died for their country.
