Drama Theater in Mariupol. The house is built of Crimean inkerman gray stone in the style of monumental classicism with a huge number of stucco decorated components. On the facade of the building there is a sculptural composition, where the main role is given to metallurgists and farmers as the main professions of the Azov region, to whom the patrons of art perform a laudatory ode. As a result of the bombing the theater was destroyed on 17th March 2022.
