Grand Mithridates stairs, Monumental stairs in Kerch, Russia.
The Grand Mithridates Stairs consists of 428 steps spanning 68 meters in height, connecting the city center to Mount Mithridat's summit.
Architect Alexander Digby designed these stairs in the late 19th century during a period of significant urban development in the Kerch region.
The stairs serve as a meeting point for local gatherings and celebrations while providing access to archaeological sites at Mount Mithridat.
Visitors can reach multiple viewing platforms along the stairs, offering opportunities to rest while ascending toward the mountain peak.
The structure incorporates both Ukrainian and Russian heritage designations, reflecting the complex historical connections between these two nations.
