🚶 Ilyinka Street

An old Kitay-gorod street running from Red Square, with banks, the stock exchange and the Gostiny Dvor arcade.

From 1935 to 1990 Ilyinka was called Kuibyshev Street.
The street took its name from the Ilyinsky Monastery; its Church of Elijah the Prophet (no. 3) was founded in 1519 and still stands.
On the night of 17 May 1606 the alarm bell from the Ilyinsky Monastery bell tower signaled the uprising in which False Dmitry I was killed.
The five-story Trinity Compound building (no. 5, 1870s) long remained the largest civil building in Moscow; it housed the Novotroitsky tavern, a favorite of merchants.
The Stock Exchange building (no. 6) stands on the site of the Church of Demetrius of Thessalonica, after which the street was called Dmitrovka in the 14th–15th centuries.
The Old Gostiny Dvor (no. 4) was built from 1790 to 1830 to a design by Giacomo Quarenghi.
