Peter I in Taganrog

Peter the Great Garden is located in the historical center of Taganrog. In 1698 Tsar Peter ordered to found a city on this place. At the very edge of Cape Taganiy Rog (Taganiy Horn), he began the construction of the Trinity Fortress and a trading port. Now there is a small garden on the site of the fortress and a Monument to Peter I, the work of the famous Russian sculptor Mark Antakolsky, is installed.
