Sightseeing

Downtown keeps one- and two-storeyed merchant estates with stone entrances and guest houses, the complex of Malls surrounding the quarter of the Market Square on four sides, the building of the City Council, a classical school and the Nobility Assembly. The ferroconcrete bridge built in 1910 over River Don for a long time represented an advanced achievement of technical thought and was the largest ferroconcrete bridge in the region.

One of the famous local places is the Tyapkina Hill. As a legend goes, there lived a Cossack robber Tyapka, who plundered the ships floating by on the Don River. On the hill there is the central part of the city including its historical center with most of the sights and public institutions.
