Rostov-on-Don is my native city!                           
I was born in Rostov-on-Don and I live here now . It is my native city. It was founded in 1749. In the past it was a large fortress named after the priest of Rostov Veliky Dimitry Rostovsky . Now it's one of the largest cities in the South of Russia.Rostov stands on the right bank of the river Don. The population of my city is more then one million people. It has a lot of wide streets with a lot of trees and flowers.
The main street of Rostov is Bolshaya Sadovaya. The traffic is very heavy there.There are a lot of cars,buses,trolley-buses in it. 
This street is famous for its old buildings,comfortable hotels,green parks,nice cinemas and theatres. 
There are some monuments to great people in Bolshaya Sadovaya street.
From the railway station this street will lead you to the very heart of my city, to the main square-Theatre Square,which is,I think,the best square in Rostov-on-Don. Many Rostovites and guests of our city visit it every day.

Just in the square there is the Gorky Drama Theatre,the best theatre of our city.  Its building has an original form.It was built in a form of a tractor. It's interesting t o know that the model of the Gorky Drama Theatre and the model of St. Basil's Cathedral (in Moscow) are in one of the Lonon's museums. (The Museum of Archecture in London)

Next to the theatre you can see beautiful fountains, which were built by the famous Russian architect Yevgeny Vucheti.

Opposite the theatre in the centre of Theatre Square there is a monument to the Heroes of the Great Patrictic War. It's the monument "Victory" .At the foot of the monument you can see the Eternal Flame.

Besides,the Gorky Drama Theatre there are some more theatres in Rostov. They are the Young Spectators Theatre,The Musical Comedy Theatre and the Puppet Theatre.
There are also some museums in Rostov. Among them there is the Museum of Regional study.
We can see a lot of interesting things there: collections of portraits of the famous Don people , the Don cossacks costumes,  pieces of furniture, model of the fortress named after Dm. Rostovsky , a lot of stuffed animals birds and fish and of course,wonderful pictures by Repin,Levitan,Shishkin and others.There are also Rostov Picture Gallery and Children's Picture Gallery.
My native city is very green. There are a lot of beautiful parks such as Gorky Park,Vitya Cherevichkin Park,Ostrovsky Park and some others parks. We are proud of our Botanical Gardens where you can see rare plants,trees,bushes and flowers .I can say that my city is buried in greenary.

There are a lot of places of rest in Rostov-on-Don.  
The left bank of the river Don is the best one with its,golden beaches and beautiful camps  It's wonderful to spend a day or two there swimming,playing games in the fresh air or lying in the sun. The city is beautiful in all seasons but I like Rostov summer most of all.
Naturally there are a lot of others places of interest in my native city.  And if you go on a trip about the city you'll see them all.
I'm proud of my city by right.I LOVE IT VERY MUCH AND I HOPE YOU LOVE IT TOO!
