Rostov-on-Don, the capital of Russia's Southern Federal District and Rostov Region, is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Don River, about 46 kilometers from the Sea of Azov, and is known as "Russia's Southern Gate". As an important transportation hub, the city is connected to many places in Europe and Asia by river ports, railroads and airports, and is the economic and cultural center of the south. Founded in 1749, the city evolved from a military fortress to a trading town, and was rebuilt after being severely damaged in World War II. Today, it is a blend of historic architecture and modernity. The city's industry is based on machine building (tractors, agricultural machinery), food processing, aerospace, and active agricultural trade. The city has a rich Cossack culture, with unique Cossack songs, dances and folklore festivals, as well as cultural institutions such as the Rostov State Conservatory and Drama Theatre. The parks along the Don River and the Drama Square in the center of the city have become recreational landmarks, demonstrating the city's vitality and multifaceted charms.
