Map of Taganrog in detail with streets, houses and districts


general information


First, let's get acquainted with the most general information about this locality.
Where is the city of Taganrog and what is it like? Its location is the shore of the bay of the same name in the Azov Sea, southwest of the Rostov region. Taganrog is a large scientific, cultural and industrial center, a leading seaport in the Russian south. Its population is 277.3 thousand people, according to this indicator it is the second in the region. Ukraine is 50 kilometers away, the territory has an area of ​​more than 80 km². The regional center is 77 km away. The city is located on a magnificent cape, which protrudes quite far into the sea and is surrounded by water on three sides. Not far from it are the industrial cities of Azov and Bataysk, as well as the Ukrainian seaport of Mariupol.

Economy and industry of Taganrog

The stability of the city's economy is determined by the main industrial enterprises that produce steel, consumer goods, paint and varnish products, equipment for boiler houses, bricks, and grain.

The food industry is also well represented. The city independently provides its residents with processed agricultural products.

Many residents work in the port, which is clearly visible on Yandex maps of Taganrog. One of the largest in the country, it ships thousands of tons of products every day. In addition, fishing is well developed in Taganrog. Many men work on fishing vessels that sail not only along the Sea of ​​Azov, but also explore distant waters.

A significant part of the city's economy is made up of retail trade and services. Local entrepreneurs are building large business and shopping centers in modern microdistricts, which not only beautify the city, but also compete with out-of-town entrepreneurs.

A little history

Before you figure out whether Taganrog is Russia or Ukraine, you need to familiarize yourself with its history. Without this, our conclusion will be incomplete. A very interesting fact: the construction of this settlement was carried out according to a plan developed in advance. In 1699, Peter I was in this place in a small fortress. He gave the necessary orders, on the basis of which a plan was drawn up.

As a result, after some time, inside the defense structure, in addition to military facilities, the royal palace, courtyards and palaces of his closest subjects, the administration of sailors, religious and administrative buildings were built. From the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th, Taganrog began to emerge as a trading city. It became the only place in the south of the country where trade with foreign countries was established. This was the case until the mid-19th century.

So, after all, is Taganrog Russia or Ukraine?

This beautiful city occupies a very important place in Russian history. And not only. 1918 Taganrog is the capital of the People's Republic of Ukraine. How? Why?

All this happened for a reason, but had its prerequisites. First of all, if we take the entire district at that time, then Ukrainians made up 71.5% of the total population, although in the city itself there were 34.6%. Russians – 21.9% and 55.2%, respectively. Therefore, there is nothing strange about this.

Secondly, in 1918, almost all of Ukraine was occupied by the Kaiser’s Germany, and there was simply no place for the government to work there. And then a special decree stipulated the Ukrainian status of Taganrog. And then a special plebiscite was held. As a result of all this, the city became Ukrainian for some time, albeit a short one. The government bodies of the entire state were located and worked in it. That is, it turned out to be a capital, and it fully corresponded to its high rank. After some time, Taganrog lost it, but remained part of Ukraine.

Let's answer the question of where Taganrog is now, in what country. The answer is short and specific - in Russia.

Map of Taganrog with houses

In Taganrog, only 2 microdistricts are built up with high-rise buildings: PMK and Russkoye Pole. In other parts of the city, low-rise housing stock predominates, and in some places you won’t even find a single 2-story building.

But despite this, the city does not look like a “big village”. Ancient merchant houses are perfectly restored and look very dignified. It is better to study the urban architecture of the port city by having an online map of Taganrog with houses on your smartphone or tablet. It will help determine the location of any object in the city and beyond.

Local residents recommend visiting such attractions as:

  • The embankment and its staircase going down;
  • Construction “Antique sundial”;
  • Monument to Peter I;
  • Pavlovsk Fortress.

Museums, exhibitions and the House-Museum of A.P. Chekhov can also be found on a detailed map of Taganrog.

How Taganrog returned to Russia

This event, which put everything in its place, occurred on January 25, 1954. Quite an interesting story with several different interpretations. It all started with the fact that Nikita Khrushchev, as it were, gave the Crimean peninsula to the Ukrainian SSR. Why "as if"? Because the peninsula was actually handed over to G. Malenkov by order of K. Voroshilov. N. Khrushchev at that moment in time could not decide anything on his own, despite the fact that he was the first secretary of the Communist Party.


This story has a continuation, which is often kept silent. In return for Crimea, the Russian Federation received from Ukraine Taganrog and the lands bordering it. At the same time, their area turned out to be equal to the area of ​​the peninsula. In addition, Kyiv gave away rich black soil regions, and in return received a saline, arid steppe. But we have already deviated a little from the topic. Thus, the answer to the question of whether Taganrog is Russia or Ukraine is clear: this is the territory of the Russian Federation.

Cultural values, sights of Taganrog

The city we are considering is not very old, but nevertheless it is a real open-air museum - amazing, amazing and unique.

Each of us has information that these lands are the birthplace of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. For this reason, every visitor to the city first of all goes to “Chekhov’s House,” its main memorial attraction. It is small (its area is 35.4 sq. m), made of bricks, the base of which is clay mixed with straw.

There are many similar buildings. This is both the house of Andrei Drossi, a friend of Chekhov, and the house of Rafailovich. We can talk about each of these buildings for a very long time, but we will go to the embankment. And here you can immediately see where Taganrog is located - on a flat, undulating terrain. From a small hill, and the coast is located at an altitude of 50 meters from sea level, a magnificent view opens up. Due to its location, the climate here is temperate continental, with a lack of moisture and excess heat, softened by breezes from the sea.

At the end of the story about this city, let’s note where the name “Taganrog” came from. The main variant: a combination of the word "tagan", meaning tripod or brazier for cooking over an open fire, and "horn", meaning cape.

Taganrog

History of Taganrog

Archaeological finds indicate that settlements of unknown peoples on the shores of the Taganrog Bay already existed in the Late Bronze Age, about 4 thousand years ago.
The ancient Greeks called the Sea of ​​Azov Meotida, ancient Russian legends called the Sea of ​​Surozh, Lukomorye. In the 5th century BC. e. The ancient historian Herodotus mentioned a seaside Greek colony called Emporion Kremnoi, founded on the site of modern Taganrog. It also conveys the legend that the Amazons once lived here. The first confirmation of Herodotus's message about the city was the chance finds of ancient Greek ceramics during excavation work in the 30s of the last century. But only in the early 2000s, a joint expedition of Russian and German archaeologists discovered the remains of stone buildings and about 20,000 fragments of Greek ceramics from the 7th century BC in the area of ​​the city embankment. e. Artifacts allowed scientists to claim that the region’s oldest ancient settlement of colonists from Eastern Hellas existed here. This policy flourished for about a hundred years, and then was probably destroyed by the rulers of the surrounding steppes - the Scythians. You can get acquainted with archaeological finds in the city local history museum.

The modern name of the city was given by the high rocky cape Taganiy Rog, protruding far into the waters of the sea bay. Tagan is a Turkic word, it means a brazier, and the Slavs called the coastal ledges a horn. Perhaps on this cape there once stood a lighthouse with a signal fire burning on its tagan. In 2005, the remains of a Turkic tandoor oven for baking bread and fragments of pottery from the times of the Khazar Kaganate (650-969) were discovered here.

In the 13th century, Italian colonists, probably sailing from Tuscany, built the port and fortification of Porto Pisano here. This is evidenced by medieval written sources and a nautical map of 1318, on which this city is marked.

In the 70s of the 15th century, the lands were captured by the Ottoman Turks, but two centuries later the Muscovite kingdom entered into confrontation with the Ottoman Empire for this region. The Russians sought to expand their borders to the south and strengthen themselves on the sea shores. After the Turkish stronghold of Azov was defeated by the troops of Peter I, the tsar ordered the foundation of a fortress on Cape Taganiy Rog. The order of the Pushkar order to begin construction is dated September 12, 1798. This date is celebrated in Taganrog as City Day.

In one of her letters to Voltaire, Empress Catherine II recalled that Peter I had been thinking about moving the capital for a long time, choosing between northern St. Petersburg and southern Taganrog. Although Taganrog never had the chance to try on the crown of the southern capital, it was nevertheless the first city in the empire built according to a clear general plan, and the local seaport became the first naval base in the history of Russia. Straight streets start from the place where the legendary Trinity Fortress once stood, and, following the expanding topography of the cape, fan out to the mainland part of the development. The main street of Taganrog is Petrovskaya, it is named after the founder of the city.

At the end of the 60s of the last century, railway tracks stretched here, connecting Taganrog first with Kharkov, and then with Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of the empire. The provincial town turned into a major economic center, factories and factories appeared here, mechanical engineering and metallurgy developed, and maritime trade flourished. Coal, grain and rolled metal were exported. The growing flow of merchants arriving in the southern city via the new railway gave a powerful impetus to Taganrog trade. So many shops appeared on the square in front of the station that it was called the Fair.

To build their houses, wealthy citizens invited talented architects who designed buildings following the architectural fashion of their time.

During the Crimean War of the mid-19th century, which reached the Azov region, the Taganrog garrison repelled an attempt by the Anglo-French fleet to land troops here. During the Great Patriotic War, fierce land battles and naval battles with the Nazis, who were rushing to the Caucasus, unfolded in the city area. For the heroism shown by its residents, in 2011 Taganrog was awarded the honorary title of the City of Military Glory of Russia.

Geography and climate

The cape on which Taganrog is located is a hilly wedge, rising 60-75 m above sea level. From the southwest, the cape is washed by the waters of the Taganrog Bay, and the Miussky Estuary splashes in the southeast. Its sandy muddy spits are washed up by the Mius River, which flows into the Sea of ​​Azov in the vicinity of the city. Two small rivers flow within the boundaries of Taganrog - the Big Turtle and the Small Turtle. A few tens of kilometers to the east is the mouth of the deep Don and the regional center, the city of Rostov-on-Don. Due to river flow, the water in the bay is almost fresh, devoid of salts, but the concentration of iodine, organic matter and minerals in it is increased. The local waters are rich in fish, which are attracted by the nutritious silt.

Here the East European Plain ends, the vast Donetsk steppe meets the sea, air currents create a constant breeze. Its speed is low - 2.8-3.2 m/s. The air is saturated with the smell of the sea and the aromas of steppe herbs. On summer days, a warm breeze blows from the sea; at sunset, the wind changes direction and blows from the shore towards the sea. At dawn the air cycle repeats, and by nine o'clock in the morning the wind from the sea again prevails.

In the summer heat, the shallow Taganrog Bay warms up greatly; by July the water temperature reaches +28 °C, and marine vegetation rapidly develops in the bay, and especially in the estuary. The surface of the water is covered with small blooming algae; at night they fluoresce, giving the sea a fabulous look. Perhaps this is exactly how A.S. Pushkin saw it, who populated these places with the heroes of Lukomorye in his “The Tale of Tsar Saltan.”

The climate in the city is mild; meteorologists did not note any sharp temperature changes. The dryness of the warm steppe air is balanced by the proximity of the sea. Winters in Taganrog are mild by Russian standards, the temperature rarely drops below –15…–12 °C. Spring arrives “on schedule”, at the beginning of March. In May, the air temperature rises to +17…+20 °C. In early June, the air warms up to +24...+25 °C, and the water - up to +20...+22 °C. The townspeople open the swimming season, although it often rains during this month. The driest and sunniest month in the city is August, when the thermometer points to +30...+35 °C. The temperature record in Taganrog is +40.5 °C. The velvet season ends by the end of September. In October it is already chilly, and in November the temperature drops below zero and winter begins. As a rule, the temperature fluctuates between –7…–2 °C. Frosty and snowy in January and February.

Sights of Taganrog

Tourists arriving in Taganrog by train, from the very first steps, get acquainted with one of the city's attractions - the ancient building of the passenger railway station. It was erected in 1869, as soon as the “cast iron” was brought to the strategic port on Azov. The building is made of red brick, in the then fashionable eclectic mixture of architectural styles, but the building looks harmonious. Brick patterns do not require plaster; the range of colors is created by orders of different shades. Near the walls of the station, on a short rail track, there is a steam locomotive from the beginning of the last century. The memorial plaque recalls the events of the Civil War in Russia.

The entrance to the Old Town is marked by a granite obelisk and an ancient border barrier on Grecheskaya Street. The city limits began here in the 19th century.

Tourists walking along the central street of Frunze pay attention to entire blocks of colorful buildings of venerable age that have been preserved here. Among them, the mansion at number 20 stands out, built in the 60s of the 19th century and known as the Rafailovich House. Its façade with a high plinth is decorated with stucco bas-relief medallions and vases in which Greek and Roman motifs are recognizable. The building's outline and striking decor skillfully combine elements of several architectural styles.

According to art critics and local architectural historians, this is one of the most beautiful buildings in Old Taganrog. Experts included it in the list of Russian cultural heritage sites.

One of the most famous buildings in the city is a modest one-story building on Grecheskaya Street, built in 1806. There were apartments here for especially important guests of the city government, where Emperors Nicholas I, Alexander II and Alexander III, the Grand Dukes of the reigning Romanov dynasty, and outstanding Russian artists and writers stayed. Among them are A. S. Pushkin, V. A. Zhukovsky, I. K. Aivazovsky. In 1825, the family of Emperor Alexander I settled in this house. On November 9, the emperor suddenly died; his sudden death gave rise to many rumors and legends. One of the folk legends about this dramatic event claims that the tsar only staged his death far from the capital St. Petersburg, but in fact disguised himself as a commoner and went on a journey. Connected with this legend is the mysterious personality of Elder Fyodor Kuzmich, who appeared in Siberia at the same time. They say that the king, shortly before leaving the capital, expressed his intention to abdicate the throne and retire to a monastery.

Empress Elizaveta Alekseevna ordered a home church to be built in the room where her husband died, and the guest house itself to be called the Palace of Alexander I. This is what this house is still called today.

Further on Grecheskaya Street, your attention will be drawn to an ancient mansion marked with a marble memorial plaque. It is known as the Tchaikovsky House. Here lived the naval officer Ippolit Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the brother of the great composer, who sometimes stayed here and worked in this house on his symphonic works. Now the building houses the Tchaikovsky Museum and a public library, and the small concert hall often hosts musical evenings that are worth a visit for fans of classical melodies.

On Chekhov Street there is a house-museum of this famous writer. The entrance ticket costs 60 rubles. The cozy tiny rooms recreate the interiors of the second half of the 19th century. And in the well-kept garden at the entrance to the museum, strolling... Anton Pavlovich himself! This is a local theater actor, made up to look like Chekhov. Tourists are sure to take photos in his company. Next door there is a shop with a large selection of souvenirs. The Chekhov Literary Museum is located in the building of the gymnasium where the writer studied. Another object associated with his name is the trading shop of Chekhov’s father not far from the station, where during the summer holidays the young high school student Anton Chekhov, the future classic of world literature, often stood behind the counter. In the cramped space of the Chekhovs' shop, the guide's interesting story is accompanied by tea drinking.

The city museum of local lore occupies an old two-story mansion. The exhibition, located in its 13 halls, introduces the history of the Azov region. Unique archaeological artifacts are demonstrated in the recreated burial complex of the Alan queen, who ruled at the beginning of the 1st millennium.

Above the sea, where the Trinity Fortress once stood, there is a well-groomed square. A bronze monument to the founder of the city, Peter I, is erected here. The Emperor is depicted in the uniform of an officer of the Preobrazhensky Regiment. A.P. Chekhov took an active part in the creation of the monument. In the early 80s of the 19th century, the writer went to France, where the famous Russian sculptor Mark Antokolsky lived at that time, and agreed with him to create a monument based on the model that was demonstrated at the Polytechnic Exhibition in Moscow. The sculpture was cast in bronze in Antokolsky's workshop in Paris and delivered by ship to Taganrog for the 200th anniversary of the city, celebrated in 1898. Under Soviet rule, the monument was dismantled, but, fortunately, not destroyed. The sculpture was kept in the city museum for several decades, and in 1958 the monument to Peter I was restored.

On the Greek street there is a sundial, the oldest of such “eternal” chronometers preserved in Russia. They were installed in 1833, and all the celebrities who visited Taganrog since then certainly came here, checking their watches with solar time. The shadow of the vertical bronze triangular gnomon indicates daytime, following the Sun across the carved marble dial. In 2000, to commemorate the beginning of the new millennium, at the entrance to the park. Gorky, another sundial was installed, manufactured at one of the Taganrog enterprises.

A monumental stone staircase 113 meters long, built in 1823, leads to the city embankment. It contains 188 massive steps made of light brown granite; on the slopes there are passages to observation platforms with decorative fences, from here you can enjoy beautiful views of the sea. You can take a break on the climb at a table in one of the mini-cafes.

The elegant Pushkinskaya embankment is paved with stone paving stones and decorated with green lawns and flowering flower beds. Several monuments have been erected here.

At the foot of the staircase there are three closed columns made of pink granite, symbolizing three centuries of Taganrog's history. The columns are crowned with a bronze sculpture of the city's guardian angel. From here, radial paths are laid through the square. One of them will lead you to the original sculptural composition “Romance with a Double Bass”. The author was inspired by the story of the same name by A. Chekhov. Citizens and tourists love to take pictures here. There are other sculptures of literary characters from Chekhov’s stories in the city – “The Lady with the Dog”, “The Thick and the Thin”, “The Man in a Case”.

The alley located to the right leads to the monument to A.S. Pushkin. The poet visited the city in June 1820, during his trip to Southern Russia. Every year in May, Pushkin readings are held at the monument, where poets recite their poems.

Not far from the city yacht club there is a monument to the national hero of Italy, General Giuseppe Garibaldi. In his youth, Garibaldi was a sailor, and on the sailing ship “Clorinda” he visited Taganrog more than once on trade matters. It was here in 1833 that he met a group of Italian political emigrants and joined the revolutionary organization Young Italy, which was developing plans to liberate his country from Austrian oppression and proclaim an independent republic. In 2007, when the 200th anniversary of the birth of Garibaldi was celebrated, a delegation from Italy visited Taganrog. Among the guests was the hero's great-granddaughter, Annita Garibaldi-Zhalet. And soon a gift was sent from Milan - the painting “Garibaldi in Taganrog”. It can be seen in the exhibition of the city local history museum.

Near the Marine Station there is a monument to the sailors of the Azov Military Flotilla. On a concrete pedestal made in the form of stylized waves, there is a combat boat that defended the city during the Great Patriotic War.

Few people know that on the western outskirts of Taganrog, on the territory of a military unit, there is a military airfield and an aircraft museum. Here you can examine 12 combat and transport aircraft, a helicopter, samples of winged aircraft weapons, pilot ejection seats, and pilot equipment. Of particular interest is the Be-12 amphibious aircraft. This flying boat was designed to hunt enemy submarines. By the way, the design bureau named after. G. Beriev, where the aircraft was created, is located in Taganrog.

Of the churches in Taganrog, the most revered is St. Nicholas Church, also known as the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. It was erected in 1778 in the name of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers, in a seaside fishing village, for the spiritual needs of the sailors of the Azov military flotilla. Now the village has become one of the city's microdistricts. Tradition says that the church was founded on the very spot where the camp tent of Tsar Peter I once stood. A shrine with the relics of St. Paul of Taganrog is kept in this temple. In Turgenevsky Lane, the house where the elder’s cell was was preserved; today it has become a place of pilgrimage.
