In years gone by, the Zamoskvorechye area was its own very special world within Moscow. A place in the middle of a bustling capital, where the new masters of life, the merchants, brought their own special way of living to the city - rural, unhurried, patriarchal. Back then, Zamoskvorechye consisted of narrow streets, adorned with fine houses surrounded by secure high fences. However, in this corner of merchant's Moscow not only towering mansions turned fortresses were built; lush apartments, rich temples and almshouses were also constructed. The atmosphere of serenity that reigned here attracted representatives of the creative intelligentsia. We invite you to stroll around Moscow of a bygone era!
