Central embankment

• 1930 – construction of the embankment;
• 2001 – restoration of the church named after the Forerunner;
• 2010 – closing of the "dancing bridge".

So, every tourist who visits Volgograd should visit its central embankment. The story goes that this landmark acquired its name thanks to the 62nd army. This army defended the city during the Battle of Stalingrad. Before the embankment, there were 3 churches in this area, which were subsequently demolished.

The construction of the embankment took place in 1930. After the end of the hostilities, the embankment was severely damaged, it was restored and its main feature was a magnificent staircase.

Tourists visiting the embankment can see the temple named after the Forerunner, which was restored in 2001. The temple was built on the site of the previous one built in the XVI century.

All the terraces and columns of the embankment were restored exactly according to the sketches developed in pre-revolutionary times. A huge number of monuments worthy of attention are located closer to the coast. The most interesting sights to visit are the Iskusstvo fountain and a water pump built in the 19th century.

In pre-revolutionary times, the embankment was used as a cargo port, later the embankment was named after Stepan Razin, and the name received in the post-war period has survived to this day.

The landmark, which has made a lot of noise, is popularly known as the "dancing bridge." This bridge is located by the river and its peculiarity has not made the city famous from the best side.
