The area on which Stavropol is located passed to Russia as a result of the signing of an amicable agreement with Turkey in 1774. The city is located on the steep slopes of a hill and stretches for ten kilometers, so walking along it is quite a difficult task. If the latter cannot be avoided, then the best solution would be to visit the many preserved sights. For example, museums of Stavropol.
