Tverskaya Street

The main street of the capital. Stretching for 1.6 kilometers, it connects Manezhnaya and Triumfalnaya Squares. Historically, it was a road leading from Moscow to Tver, but today it is a busy thoroughfare with many attractions. Administrative buildings, museums, and theaters are located here. There are dozens of architectural monuments of different styles and eras. The Moscow City Hall is located at number 13, and a monument to the founder of the city, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, is located opposite it. Until 1990, Tverskaya was called Gorky Street and was much longer.
