Perm

The Perm Embankment is one of the most beautiful places in the city of Perm. Its distinctive features are simplicity and clarity of line and the aristocratic economy of the architectural solution. The embankment plays an important role in creating the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the city. The history of the embankment begins at the end of the 18th century, when, by order of the governor Karl Moderach, part of the Kama bank was laid out with rubble stone.

Perm has always been a port city, and many famous and wealthy people of the city in the pre-revolutionary period were merchants who owned steamers. Their quays extended to the Kama River from Monastyrskaya Street and became the forerunner of the modern embankment. The first embankment project was developed in 1936, but the Second World War prevented the work from starting. The creation of a proper place for walking along the bank of the Kama River began only in the mid-1960s, when, together with the construction of a communal bridge (commissioned in 1967), a section of the Kama River bank was given a noble appearance. The cargo port was moved downstream, and in its place the Perm embankment was built, extending from the Perm River Station to the Cargo Port.

To this day, the Kama Embankment is one of the most popular places for the recreation of the people, and with every year, it gets even better.
