In the "Azov Palmyra" every street breathes rich history and mystical legends. And for good reason, because Taganrog is unique in many ways. The fortress and the first man-made harbor in Russia, founded by Peter the Great, eventually grew into a developed merchant city and the largest international port. Since Peter was built thoroughly, the city became a pioneer of regular development long before St. Petersburg. By the way, with the light hand of the emperor, sunny Taganrog could also become the Russian capital – only after much thought did Peter give preference to his northern creation.
