History of the embankment

In the 16th century, Aluston fortress was built on the site of modern Alushta by the Genoese . Initially, the city, which was called Lusta, began to grow around Aluston. At the time of the modern embankment there was a wharf. Gradually, Lusta acquired great commercial importance.

After the conquest of the Crimea by the Turks, Alushta ceased to be a trading city and turned into a small settlement on the wreckage of the Genoese fortress. During the Crimean War Turkish troops landed here, and a serious battle took place on the territory of the settlement. It was in him that the future field-marshal M. Kutuzov was wounded.

Until the end of the 19th century, there is no need to talk about the existence of the Alushta embankment. It was rebuilt for a long time.

Alushta embankment has changed especially during the NEP. There were numerous shops and shops, as well as offices of auto services.

Great influence on the appearance of the embankment had a devastating storm, which occurred in the winter in late 1940. And for two and a half years of occupation, this territory has completely emptied. Only after the liberation of Alushta in 1944, people actively began to rebuild their native city. In 1954, on the embankment, a famous rotunda was established, which is now the visiting card of Alushta. During the construction and design of the embankment, a large contribution was made by N.D. Stakheev, a Russian merchant and philanthropist.

In 1969, a large patch of slummed once again suffered from a storm. At the same time, the bank protection structures are being built here. Especially during the storms part of the embankment of the Worker (now Professor's) Corner continued to suffer. The storm of 2012, which destroyed this site, served as an occasion for its reconstruction as a gift to the city on the 110th anniversary.

Modernity

Currently, the embankment of Alushta consists of three parts: central, eastern and western. The central part is a place where there are always a lot of tourists. It is in this part that the Rotunda is located. Nearby is the Seaside Park. The western part is called the Professor's Corner. Now this is the newest section of the embankment with beautiful buildings, completely renovated. Here are the best beaches. In this area, new buildings are being built, thanks to which the modern Alushta is being transformed.

The eastern embankment goes to the east from the central. By 111 Alushta's birthday, this part was reconstructed after 30 years of total stagnation. The peculiarity of the city is that it is very quiet and peaceful in its outskirts, and when it comes to the sea, more and more animation begins. This is modern Alushta. The embankment street is always crowded with tourists' cars, so it's quite difficult to park here. Sometimes visitors have to leave cars in the professorial corner, but this is only an occasion to stroll along the embankment and enjoy its beauty.

The bottom of the sea is rocky, mostly covered with pebbles.
