The
Depaldo Stone Steps
(
Russian
:
Депальдовская лестница
, also
Старая каменная лестница
) in
Taganrog
in Russia were constructed in 1823. They were the project of the swiss architect
Francesco Boffo
, with the funding of
Taganrog
's
Greek
merchant Gerasim Depaldo, at the crossroads of Greek Street (near
Tchaikovsky House in Taganrog
) and Depaldo Street (now Turgenevskaya Street) in Taganrog. The stairway begins up on the hill in downtown and goes down ending near the
Sea of Azov
foreshore (
Pushkin Embankment
).
In
World War II
, the Old Stone Steps were heavily damaged. In the 1970s they were reconstructed, but not finished. The new reconstruction was made in 2005. During the latest reconstruction all the old stone steps were replaced by new stones.
