It was being built for 15 years.After all this time, the length of the walls reached 2 kilometers, and tere were 13 towers in it. Nowadays there are 12 of them.

Chkalow stairs

There is the longest stairs over the Volga bank in our city. There are 560 of them. They are called Chkalow stairs, cause of Chkalow’s monument on their top.

Idea of their building was firstly offered by vice-chairman of City Executive Commitee Alexander Shulpin in 1939. This idea was really graceful — Stairway was thought to connect city Center with embankment.

These plans had been broken by the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. But in 1943 stairway’s built began in honour of the Stalingrad Fight’s victory. It’s built finished in 1949.

Nowadays this stairway is one of the most popular places for rest among the city population — it is known as the main obcervation point of Nizhniy Novgorod. There is a great view of e left Volga’s bank opening. It is not occupied by city buildings and it is a nature reserve. There are aviashows taking place over the stairs.

It is an outstanding monument of neorussian architectural style. It was built in 1911-1913 in honour of 300 years reign of Romanov’ s family. On the whole, building architecture is without parallel in the history of russian architecture and is the result of the author’s fertile imagination. On the 17 May 1913 Bank was visited by the last emperor Nikolay II.

By the way, according to the city legend, massive Bell tower with bells and dial plate with the signs of the Zodiac on it was being built for a one night before the Emperor’s arrival. She is standing a little way from the main building indeed. They say the reason is a merchant’s balcony. He refused to take off the white goods, which were hanged.anyway, the merchant wasn’t arrested. Tey decided to block it from the emperor.

This bulding never changed it’s purpose. In the years of the Civil war it was the main russian treasury. It contained the most of national gold reserve.
