Arsenal (Tseykhauz)
The building, located on the territory of the Moscow Kremlin, between the Trinity and Nikolskaya Towers, was founded by the great Peter 1 as a house for storing weapons ("Tseykhauz").
Tsar Peter's plan was simple: the building was to house a warehouse of military ammunition and a museum where military trophies would be stored. Construction began in 1702. Famous architects of that time took part in the work: Christoph Conrad, Dmitry Ivanov, Mikhail Tchoglokov and Johann Schumacher. It was decided to organize the construction on the site of warehouses destroyed by fire, where bread was previously stored.

Capitol
The Capitol is one of the seven hills on which ancient Rome arose. There was a Capitoline Temple on the Capitol, which was also called the Capitol, where the Senate and people's assemblies took place.
The Capitol was, as can be assumed, a fortified inaccessible fortress of Rome from the time of Servius Tullius on all sides. Few traces have survived from the wall surrounding the entire hill and embracing two separate fortifications. In addition to the main road in 174 BC paved with lava and in some places decorated with arches, several other paths for pedestrians led to the top of the hill.

Bolotnaya Embankment
Once the embankment united two historical localities - Bersenevka and the Swamp. It was built back in the XVIII century, during the construction of the Drainage Canal. The embankment got its name due to the fact that during the spring flood this territory was regularly flooded and it turned into a swamp.
Bolotnaya Embankment was the place where the shops of the capital's merchants were located, and later a large power plant was built (it was she who provided electricity The Cathedral of Christ the Savior) and the Einem plant (now "Red October"). So this place acquired its economic and industrial significance.

Laundry Bridge
Located in one of the most prestigious areas of the city, next to the famous Summer Garden, between the Palace Embankment and the Kutuzov Embankment, the bridge, however, has a rather unpresentable name, which is due to the palace Laundry yard.
The length of the Laundry Bridge is about forty meters, the width is fourteen. It has a characteristic "hump", which, although it was smoothed out during the last reconstruction, nevertheless continues to be perceived by urban motorists as something that makes the heart stop, especially for those who do not have time to slow down in time on the descent from the "hump".
