So I continue to introduce my town Taganrog to you
These photos are not very qualitative but I think it's good enough. Here is some good views(you can click on it to see full size):

This beautiful building is named after and 19th century Taganrog's merchant Alferaki. So its name is Alferaki Palace(more information here). In front of the building you can see tram railway. Tram is maybe the main transport in the Taganrog.

This is one of the buildings of university I'm studying. You can see the inscription above the colons, it says "UNIVERSITY" in russian language.

This is one of the most famous places in our town - Depaldo stone stairs(more information here), but town inhabitants call it just stone stairs. On top of the stairs there is sundail. The bottom of stairs goes to the beach and embankment.

This is the monument of Peter The Great. Taganrog was founded by Peter The Great, that's why town inhabitants like this monument. Regularly in saturday here is much wedding ceremonies.

It's the Gagarin and Korolev monument standing near the building shown on second photo of this post. Gagarin was the first person in space, national russian hero. And Korolev was the person who created the rocket which delivered Gagarin in space. It's the popular place where people takes a photos of them sitting on the bench near Gagarin. I have such a photo too :)

And our town has one more reason to proud. Taganrog is the motherland of great worldwide well-known writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Therefore we have many places related with him.

This is a store of Chekhov's father. Anton Pavlovich worked here when he was young. The signboard says "Tea, Sugar, Coffee an other colonial goods".

This is the monument of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.


And finally this is birthhouse of Chekhov(more information here).
