Titov Hill is an extinct volcano that was active during the Mesozoic era. Its eruptions were explosive, making the hill significant for archaeologists. Artifacts from various eras have been found here, ranging from the Stone Age to traces of the first Cossack settlements in Chita. The hill is named after the archaeologist Elpidifor Titov, who actively studied it in the early last century, organized expeditions, and conducted excavations of medieval burials. In 1937, Titov was executed for counter-revolutionary views but was later fully rehabilitated.

More than 30 archaeological sites have been discovered on Titov Hill. In the 1950s, excavations were conducted at a Stone Age workshop site, where tools made from animal horns, hearths, and rock art from the Bronze Age were found. In the 1960s, part of a mammoth tusk and a woolly rhinoceros bone were discovered on the northern slopes of the hill, followed by the skeleton of an ancient horse and a bison tooth. One of the most remarkable finds was the ancient settlement of Zasoposhnoe, believed to have been founded in the late 17th century. The ruined wooden structures from that time can still be seen today.

Titov Hill reaches almost one kilometer above sea level, with its peak rising 300 meters above Chita. The northwestern slope with its terraced cape attracts special interest from tourists. In 1820, there was a grave of a soldier-convict from the Semenovsky regiment, where a large leafy cross stood until 1860. In 1998, an iron cross was installed here, and in 2002, the Chapel of St. Alexander Nevsky was built. The chapel was erected quickly and named after the saint, the patron of Russia's borderlands. It is believed that Alexander Nevsky visited Transbaikalia, although there is no factual confirmation of this.

Next to the chapel, a viewing platform has been arranged, offering a view of Chita. This place is popular among newlyweds who come here for photo sessions and leave locks on the chapel's railing. Before the chapel was built, there was a monument to a deer, the symbol of the city, which was moved to the Aginsky tract due to vandalism.

On the hill, one can learn not only about ancient burials but also about Chita's revolutionary past. In 1906, revolutionaries and organizers of the Chita Republic were executed at the foot of the hill. In 1926, a monument was erected at the site of the execution in their honor. The brick pedestal features bas-reliefs of the slain, and from its center rises a snow-white stele with a star.

In the early 1990s, 770 hectares of Titov Hill belonged to the Transbaikal Botanical Garden, where scientific work was conducted and plant collections were created. In 1993, the collections were moved to the central estate of the garden. About two hundred years ago, the Chinese also established a botanical garden here, which can be noticed in autumn when the trees turn bright colors. During the Soviet era, an inscription reading "Glory to Labor" was laid out on the hill.

Currently, on Titov Hill, one can see the inscription "Victory!" which is visible from the central streets of Chita. It was created by a Chita resident, Igor Gorlano, with children, using advertising banners and securing them with stones. The inscription first appeared in 2015 but was partially destroyed by wind and vandals. In 2017, a dove of peace appeared above the word "Victory!".

In September 2009, a cross for worship was installed and consecrated at the top of the hill. Chita is surrounded by spiritual shields on four sides, and from the north, this is the worship cross and chapel on Titov Hill.
