Embankments in Volgograd

Q: What historical places of Volgograd should a lover of ancient Russian architecture visit?

In Volgograd, rare examples of pre-revolutionary architecture have been preserved - the Church of John the Forerunner (built in 1589, rebuilt in 1704 and 1888) combines elements of Russian Baroque and Classicism. The house of the merchant Shlykov (1896) demonstrates eclecticism with kokoshniks and carved casings, and the building of the Tsaritsyn fire brigade (1897) is an example of brick style. Of particular interest is the Repnikov estate with preserved wings of the XIX century.

The sculptural composition “Stand to Death” at the foot of Mamaev Kurgan creates a powerful visual image against the background of the Volga. The dancing bridge across the Volga-Don Canal is especially spectacular in sunset rays, and the steps of the Central Embankment with the rotunda of 1952 are a classic angle. In the park of Sasha Filippov there is a monument "Guardian Angel" with a panoramic view of the river station.

Q: What legends and legends are associated with the Mamaev Kurgan in Volgograd?

According to legend, there was an outpost of Khan Mamay, and during the Battle of Stalingrad soldiers told about the visions of ancient soldiers. In 1943, when demining the mound, sappers discovered a stone slab of the XIV century with Turkic writings. Locals believe that the bronze sword in the hand of the Motherland at night emits a faint glow - this effect is explained by a special alloy with the addition of rare earth metals.
