Palace / manor , Architecture
Potemkin Palace is one of the first and most significant buildings of Dnipro, the former Katerynoslav.
The exact date of the building has not been established - construction was carried out between 1786 and 1790. Most likely, the laying took place in 1787-1788, after the construction of the Transfiguration Cathedral began.
The authorship of the project of the large-scale palace in the style of classicism, built for the founder of the city, the governor-general of the Novorossiysk region, Prince Hrihoriy Potemkin-Tavriyskyi, is attributed to the outstanding Russian architect Ivan Starov. Originally, the main building contained a number of ceremonial rooms, including a huge bicolor hall in the central part.
It is believed that Potemkin himself never visited his Katerynoslav palace. After his death, the building stood in desolation for a long time, in 1837 it was reconstructed as a house of noble meetings. In 1952, the completely rebuilt building became the Students Palace of Culture.
According to legend, an underground passage was laid from the basement of the Potemkin Palace to the bank of the Dnipro, in which a person of his entire height could move freely.

The Dnipro embankment is considered the longest in Europe. Its total length is more than 23 kilometers.
It consists of three streets: Zavodska Naberezhna, Sicheslavska Naberezhna and Peremohy Naberezhna. The arrangement of the territory along the Dnipro River, the construction of the embankment and the boulevard in the Dnipro began in the late 1950s. Production waste (slag) from the Dnipro Metallurgical Plant was used to build the dam. Outside, the embankment was lined with granite. The parapet is assembled from cast-iron grid links fixed between granite blocks. Construction continued until the early 1970s.
Today it is a favorite place for local residents to walk, one of the city's hallmarks. There are many monuments, sculptures, cafes and restaurants here. One of the novelties is the "White Swan" fountain. The longest 50-meter "family" bench in Ukraine is located in the free Wi-Fi zone.
