Tverskaya Boulevard
This is the first boulevard in the capital - once it was even called simply
Boulevard, there was no need for a specific name.
The name Tverskaya appeared at the end of the XVIII century.
When designing this street, green spaces were provided - at first birch trees were planted, but they quickly withered away, and they were replaced by lime alleys. Nobles who built their mansions nearby liked to walk among the young lime trees.
In 1812, French troops were stationed on the boulevard, who cut down all the lime trees for fuel before they could be destroyed by fire.

Khokhlovka Art Quarter
Khokhlovka is hidden in courtyards and it is almost impossible to get here by accident. Therefore, to begin with, let's explain how to get here. First you need to get to
the Kitay-Gorod metro station, and then take a course to Zabelin Street and Solyanka. We go up to the Ivanovo Monastery, go around the Church of St. Vladimir, a couple more steps - and Khokhlovsky Lane will unfold in front of us. It will be easy to recognize him by the painted trees, photo studios, unusual restaurants and an abundance of graffiti.
When you look at all this, it seems that modern artists seem to be drawn to this place of creative freedom, they were given free rein to turn the historical quarter into an art object.

Kamennoostrovsky Palace
In 1765, Catherine gave her son Pavel, then still a boy, a generous gift - a Stone Island. About ten years have passed, and the Empress decided to use her own gift - she ordered an architect Felten to build a new stone palace on the site of the wooden palace that stood there. After a serious flood in 1777, when construction was stopped for objective reasons, another architect, Giacomo Quarenghi, resumed the work.
Architecturally Kamennoostrovsky Palace is an absolute monument of classicism.
