The Piers were built in 1905 from the design of the civil engineer M. Šistovskis. The promenade is ideal for taking walks and watching the setting sun, the might of the stormy sea, and huge ships calling at the port.
Next to the car park by the South Pier is a mounted exhibit of a seagoing vessel – the fishing boat “Azova” (25 m long, 85 tons, 1967).
Also there is a 4m high Chair which is made of anchor cable trods. From the viewing tower with height of 19 m above the sea level you can take a look at the sea, the harbour and the city using special spyglass.
