Construction of the central staircase in Svetlogorsk was completed in 1973.
The staircase has 265 steps and rises to a height of 36 metres. From this height there is a captivating view of the sea and the Zodiac Sundial by Svetlogorsk artist and monumental sculptor N.P. Frolov, located at the foot of the staircase.
During the resort season, the main descent to the sea, the central staircase, becomes a kind of open-air concert hall. Beyond the sundial to the east lies the long section of the "new" promenade, opened in 2019.
