This Sunny and hospitable southern city lies on the banks of the mighty don. Here are carefully preserved many interesting monuments of history, culture and architecture that illustrate the complex history of the city. It's impossible to know for a day or two. Perhaps, and the week is not enough to meet all the city's attractions. But today we will visit only one of them — Theatre square in Rostov.
In the XIX century on the very spot where today is the most beautiful square of the city, was an abandoned wasteland. On one side of the Rostov-on-don, on the other — Nakhichevan-on-don. In 1913, in a vacant lot there was an interesting art Nouveau building-the Administration of the Vladikavkaz railway.
In the late 20's and early 30-ies of the last century, the area had a different name — of the Revolution. Today this is similar to the preserved Park, which today is called the Park of the Revolution. He was defeated in 1927 by artist-agronomist G. N. Samnyasa. Park took a huge area of 21 hectares.
The Building was built in the valley of the Park of the Revolution, in the constructivist style that was prevalent in the architecture in the 20-ies. After the completion of the construction of the theatre began to take shape the appearance of the square. Early in the North-Western part of it was the corps of the Nikolaev hospital, which was built on donations of citizens. Its project was developed by the Rostov architect N. M. Sokolov.
On the South side of the Theatre square in Rostov became a five-storey residential building for railway workers. During the war the building was badly damaged. To restore it, the city almost immediately after the victory in the war was a competition. After the complete liberation of the city from the Nazis (1943) on the Theatre square of Rostov was the city rally. The participants decided to establish here a monument to the fallen soldiers-liberators.

In 1981, the square was erected a high-rise building "Atomkotlomasha”. Around the same time on the West side of the square was built a new building of medical College (now medical University) and began building a Theatre of descent, consisting of a cascade of multi-storey houses, which descend to don.
On the South-Western border of the square in the years of perestroika was built a residential house using the latest technologies and architectural achievements. All of the buildings on the square are architectural features characteristic of its time.
In the square are Management SKZHD, Drama theatre. M. Gorky, offices of well-known companies. Decoration of the square was the memorial to the soldiers-liberators.
History of the memorial, which is located on Theatre square in Rostov-on-don and is a hallmark of the city, began in 1953. The Union of architects of the city announced a competition to create a monument dedicated to the liberators. A convincing victory was won by the work of Rostov sculptor R. Seker and architect N. Sokolov. They proposed to build a stele with a red star framed by a Laurel wreath at the top and the colonnade behind the stele.
Unfortunately, the money for the construction of this building from the city authorities was not. The project was said to be temporarily mothballed, but, to the surprise of the authors, in 1959, announced another competition, this time at the national level. It was attended by four very strong creative team, including Moscow. And again the victory was won by Rostov sculptor R. G. Sheker, architects A. R. Pupke and N. P. Sokolova. They offered a 37-metre figure of a red army soldier, who salutes from the machine. Next to the monument was planned in green square.
On the establishment of the Eternal flame at the time of the question, as this element began to use later, when the gasification has spread widely across the country. And again to the project there were no funds. At this time, was not yet rebuilt the theatre, and all the money went to the construction site.
And only in 1983 the monument he dreamed of after the war, took pride of place in Rostov-on Theater square (photo you can see below). This stele with a height of 72 meters, with a gilded sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike, who wears a Cape. The memorial was solemnly opened on Theatre square in Rostov on the eve of Day of Victory of 1983.
Next to drama on the Theatre square of Rostov is the complex of fountains. The young sculptor, graduated from the Rostov art College Yevgeny Vuchetich, was the main author of them. The composition is represented by four Atlantes holding the dome. Square pool located in the center on a pedestal with sculptural group of Atlanteans who keep a flat bowl with beating up jets of water — so it looks like the fountain Vuchetich.
According to urban legend, performing this project, the young sculptor took his own city officials, giving the muzzles of amphibians at the feet of the Atlantean features of their faces.
This is the main square of the city, so to find her is not difficult. Teatralnaya square in Rostov from the Main railway station buses №1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 22, as well as taxis. From the airport you can take bus No. 7, trolleybus №9.
