Rostov-on-Don, Port city in southwestern Russia
Located along the Don River near the Sea of Azov, Rostov-on-Don functions as a primary transportation center connecting central European Russia with the Caucasus region.
The city originated in 1749 as a customs post named Temernika, later developing around the fortress of St. Dmitry of Rostov constructed between 1761 and 1763.
The Southern Federal University and Rostov State Medical University contribute to the educational landscape, while the Regional Museum of Fine Arts displays extensive Russian collections.
The Rostov port handles millions of tons of cargo annually through its river and sea trade routes, facilitated by connections to the Volga-Don Shipping Canal.
The city's engineering sector produces agricultural machinery at two major manufacturing plants, making it Russia's leading producer in this industrial segment.
