Everybody knows Dadiani Gimnasia - now the Museum of Fine Arts, Greece Church, Chapel of Women Gymnasia, New Armenian Church, majestic water tower, after reconstruction City Museum is now there, the building of Children's Hospital and the former building of Circuit Court, now Railway Administration and many other buildings, having been built by Bernardazzi in Moldova: St. Panteleimon Church, St. Teodora from Sihla Church. Bernardazzi expended much energy on the improvement of Pushkin Park  (now the park after Stephen the Great).
