Abstract. The study aims to examine the architect Alexander Petrovich Digby’s work, who successfully realised the 1769 Master Plan of Astrakhan developed by the "Commission of Stone Buildings of Moscow and Saint Petersburg". The article provides an insight into the position occupied by foreign architects in Russia (the XVIII-XIX centuries), briefly describes the XVIII-century architecture of Astrakhan. It is noted that A. P. Digby, working in Astrakhan as a provincial architect, was able to incorporate classical elements into architectural look of the city. Scientific novelty of the research lies in conducting a comprehensive analysis of the architect’s creative work. As a result, it was proved that A. P. Digby made a sufficient contribution to the city’s architecture through his works, which makes it possible to regard him as a prominent Astrakhan architect.
