Landmarks along the way

Father Don Monument: A sculpture personifying the river on the embankment; Paramonov Warehouses: Brick warehouse buildings on the slope above the Don

Gorky Drama Theatre: A Constructivist theatre building on Theatre Square; October Revolution Park: A city park beside Theatre Square
