The Rich Well

Bogatuanovsky spring (The Rich Well) — a monument of history and nature[1] in the city of Rostov-on-Don on the Bogatuanovsky descent, situated between Sedova Street and Beregovaya Street.

According to the legend, young sir Petr Alekseevich, traveling around the neighborhood with his generals, watched the movement of Russian ships to the shipyard to the mouth of Temernik.

Noticing the place, where springs were flowing from the calcareous slope, sir, drinking water from the most deep-water spring, exclaimed:‘’The rich well!’’This place got such a geographical name, when the drafting of the first Russian maps of the territories near the Don River was after the conquest of Azov.
