Central Embankment of 62 Army

Central Embankment of 62nd Army in Volgograd is a symbol of city's revival after World War II. In 1942, 13th Guards Division led by General Rodimtsev landed here defending Stalingrad. The embankment is named after this army and decorated with Heroes' Alley leading to upper terrace with rotundas and lower part facing the Volga River. A distinctive feature is Art Fountain and full restoration of pre-war architectural ensemble.
