Samara Embankment
Description:
Samara embankment, descending terraces to the Volga, has a length of more than five kilometers and is divided into four sections, according to the number of queues of development.
On June 24, 1852, the Samara Provincial Construction and Road Commission instructed architect Firsov to carry out works on the descent to the Volga River, prepare estimates and drawings of descents.
According to the new plan for the development of the city of Samara (1853), the embankments of the Volga and Samara rivers were allocated only for piers, bread barns, a market, material warehouses, exchanges of timber and firewood.
