Sundial, Taganrog, Regional cultural heritage sundial in Grecheskaya Street, Taganrog, Russia.
The sundial features a metal triangular gnomon with a notch, fixed perpendicular to a dial containing engraved numbers and monthly corrections.
Established in 1833 under Governor Baron Otto Germanovich Frank, this timepiece underwent multiple renovations in 1972, 1990, and 2006-2007.
The sundial holds status as a protected regional heritage monument, representing traditional time measurement methods in Russian public spaces.
The metal gnomon casts shadows on specially calculated figures, indicating local solar time through a design aligned with Taganrog's latitude of 47°12'N.
This device stands as Russia's oldest functioning sundial, with its dial incorporating specific mathematical adjustments for each month of the year.
