Azov, Port town in Rostov Oblast, Russia
Situated on the Don River, Azov extends across 66 square kilometers of land and stands 40 meters above sea level near the Sea of Azov.
The settlement began as a Kipchak outpost named Azaq in 1067, later transformed into a Venetian trading colony called Tana during the Golden Horde period.
The Azov Museum of History, Archaeology and Palaeontology contains extensive collections representing the regional development from ancient times through modern periods.
The town maintains direct transportation connections to Rostov-on-Don through regular bus services and operates as an active river port for cargo vessels.
The preserved Powder Cellar represents the single remaining fortress structure from Catherine the Great's era in southern Russia's military architecture.
