Square in Rostov-on-Don occupy a special place.Originally created as trading places, as they developed the city, they acquired a different purpose and, accordingly, individuality. They are very much on the plan guide. Visit only a few of the most remarkable.
Cathedral Square
Peter the Great during the time of the Azov campaigns chosethis place is due to its advantageous location in the lower reaches of the Don. The defenses built here would reliably close the lands of the Russian Empire from the restless neighbors - the Turks and Tatars. But the construction of the fortress took place only by decree of Catherine the First in 1761, and it was named in honor of the Metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl Demetrius, which gave the name to the city.
The oldest square of 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 down on this place, decorates the square. Today it is the main Cathedral of the city.
In 1890, the townspeople, with the money collected by them, installed a monument to Tsar Liberator Alexander II on their main square.which was destroyed in 1924.At the very end of the last century, a beautiful monument reappeared here, but to Saint Dimitry of Rostov. This is one of the few monuments to saints in Russia.
At all times there was a city bazaar. Rostov residents, keeping traditions, still go here to the Central City Market.
Council Square
This is one of the central squares of Rostov-on-Don.known in XIX century as the area of the New Bazaar.Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the former main building of the ensemble, was demolished after the revolution. During the war, most of the buildings were destroyed, and the square was re-created.
Today it is a green island right in the middle.seething city. Tall trees around the perimeter, well-groomed flowerbeds and paved walkways attract citizens here. It is customary to meet here and take a leisurely stroll, admiring the flowering of the planted plants.
The sculptural composition commemorating the Red Army men, in the center of which Marshal of the USSR S.M. Budyonny towers on a horse, surrounded by his subordinates, is made by the famous sculptor E.V. Vuchetich.
Theater Square in Rostov-on-Don
There is no time a place which was on the very outskirts, onurban 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 a beautiful, well-groomed and attractive place for tourists and locals.
Theater square in Rostov-on-Don it is easy to find from a 42-meter stele of a memorial dedicated to the liberation of the city from the fascists, visible from afar. At the very top of the composition are the goddess of victory Nick and the Order of the Patriotic War.
The square that bore the name of the Revolution in the beginning wasrenamed in the mid-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 amazes during the inspection is that the theater building is made in the form of a crawler tractor. For the unusual shape of his copy was exhibited in England, in the museum of architecture.
There is a fountain complex not far from the theater,created by sculptor E. V. Vuchetich. The architectural monument is the building of the North-Caucasian Railway, built in the early twentieth century.
The area is always crowded. It is nice to walk here, admire the beauty of the city, relax in one of the many cafes or restaurants.
Working area
Working area of Rostov-on-Don located in the Railway District of the city.Surrounded mainly by residential buildings of the old building, it is a recreation area, rather even a small square, which is visited by local residents. Circular traffic is organized around the square, and the square itself, like an island of safety and peace, invites you for a walk. Here are children's playgrounds, pavilions selling drinks and ice cream, fountains work. The area is old, lived-in, so it is very green and cozy. In the surrounding houses there are numerous shops and services that ensure the normal functioning of people.
Komsomolskaya Square in Rostov-on-Don
The city-fighter with a worthy respect to the military past has endured all the troubles with his country. The memory of this was captured by numerous sculptural ensembles, memorials and monuments. On one of the squares cities in 1969 on the initiative of the Komsomol membersa black marble stela was set up, dedicated to the feat of young guys of Rostovites in the Patriotic War. The area also became known as Komsomolskaya. It is impossible to look without pain at the remnants of the bas-relief depicting a wounded young guy holding a weapon in his hands, in which there are no cartridges left. A lot of people died in the land of Rostov, closing the “gates to the Caucasus” from the fascists. I would like to hope that someday a restored stela will be a worthy monument to those who died for their country.
