It is 80 kilometers (50 mi) long,[11] north to south and is situated on the western bank of the Volga River, after which the city was named.

The city became famous for its resistance during the Battle of Stalingrad against the German Army in World War II. It is often regarded as the largest and bloodiest battle in the history of warfare.
