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.

In the park of Sasha Filippov there is a monument "Guardian Angel" with a panoramic view of the river station.
