"Лестница идет прямо в Греческую улицу, и на
верху ее сделана площадка вроде открытой террасы с лавками...
невольным образом отдыхаешь здесь лишние полчаса, ибо вид на рейде, особливо к вечеру, когда возвращаются лодки каботажные и замелькают огоньки в каютах, ни с чем не сравним".
П. Свиньин 1825

A stone staircase is one of the most
wonderful places in the town. It was built in
1823 by the means of a rich Greek merchant Depaldo.
The length of the staircase is 108 metres, and the width is 6.5 metres. The author of this project is an architect Franz Boffo. 10 years later an octagonal pedestal with a sundial was built at the top of the stairs. Nowadays its marble face displays the time.
During the Crimean War in 1855, the town was bombed by Anglo-French squadron. Enemy troops tried to capture the town several times, but the steep banks and the courage of the defenders of Taganrog prevented them. Then the enemy sailors of about a hundred of people, grouped at the stone stairs, trying to climb them up. Cossak detachment met them with a rifle fire and stopped their attack. Having lost a lot of people the enemy retreated.

Many famous people walked down the stairs: the
famous Russian writer A.P. Checkov, P.I. Tchaikovsky, I.K. Aivazovsky,
K.A. Savitsky, K.G. Paustovsky, the children’s writer I.D. Vasilenko and others.
The stone staircase was first planted in November 1879. In 1934 the reconstruction of the staircase was started. It was planned to install up to 30 antique statues. By May 1935 the basic work was finished.
Слайд 12
In 1972 the stone staircase was reconstructed again.
There is a nice tradition in our town: when
after the graduation ceremonies at schools thousands of students come to the stone stairs to meet the dawn and the beginning of a new life.
In 2006 the new reconstruction was held, during which the old Sarmation stairs were replaced with granite. But some citizens think that the historical flavour of the stone stairs was destroyed.
In 2012 the stone staircase was included in the regional stage of the competition “The Miracle of Russia 2012”. (1740)
