Teatralnaya Square: Modernist Architecture and Fountains with Turtles

The architectural dominant of the Teatralnaya Square (Theater Square) is a constructivist building of 1935, which resembles a caterpillar tractor. It is Rostov Academic Drama Theater after M. Gorky which just gave a name to the square. The building is so famous that its layout is even exhibited in the Museum of Architecture in London.

Another notable modernist building in the square is the headquarters of the North-Caucasian Railway. And, of course, the eye-catching is a 72-meter-high stele "To the Liberators of Rostov", which is crowned by a figure shaped like a rostrum, and an ensemble of fountains designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich, the author of the statue “The Motherland Calls” in Volgograd. The ensemble is a square pool, in the center of which there is a stepped round podium with atlantes holding a bowl, from where water pours. Stands with turtles and frogs with playing fountains are positioned around the perimeter of the podium. The citizens jokingly say that Vuchetich was inspired by portraits of local officials while creating these fauna representatives.
