The character of the walk
The walk starts by the cathedral and market, then reaches façades on Bolshaya Sadovaya and nearby streets. The mansions reveal the city’s trading history without requiring museum entry. The market is a working space: keep aisles clear and ask vendors about photography

Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin: A golden-domed cathedral beside the Central Market; Central Market: A historic market area beside the cathedral square; Margarita Chernova Mansion: A mansion with a corner turret and sculptural decoration
Rostov City Duma Building: An ornate civic facade on Bolshaya Sadovaya Street; Rostov Fine Arts Museum on Pushkinskaya: A museum in a historic mansion on Pushkinskaya Street; Nikolay Paramonov Mansion: A Neoclassical mansion with a columned portico on Pushkinskaya Street
