Scamozzi also added the crowning statues and obelisks. Since the original design by Sansovino does not survive, it is not known whether the architect ever intended for the library to reach its actual length.

Don Embankment () in Rostov-on-Don is situated on the right side of the river. In the 1860s in Rostov was formed a street called "Beregovaya" (Coastal Street) which soon began to be intensively built up. Because of frequent fires, in 1873 the City Duma prohibited building wooden houses there. It was allowed to build only brick buildings with a roof made of iron. The narrow Beregovaya Street eventually had expanded to the shore, where an embankment was built by 1881. In 1834 the first

The Embankment project was seen as being nationally important and, with the Queen unable to attend because of illness, the Victoria Embankment was opened by the Prince of Wales in July 1870.
