Stavropol

Among the cities of Stavropol Krai, Stavropol stands out for its position on the Stavropol Upland, between the Kuban and Don river basins. Founded in 1777 as a fortress on the Azov–Mozdok defensive line, it developed into the administrative centre of a large North Caucasian region. Its streets rise and fall across the upland rather than following one river valley, giving the city a distinctly inland character. Tree-lined avenues and parks are integral to the urban fabric, while the wider krai extends south towards the Caucasus.
