🚶 Petrovsky Boulevard

A short boulevard between Trubnaya and Petrovskiye Vorota, with lindens and mansions on both sides.

The boulevard was laid out in the early 19th century on the site of the White City walls, demolished in the 1780s.
In the fire of 1812 the houses and trees on the boulevard burned, and it was restored only in 1818.
House no. 14/29 held Lucien Olivier's Hermitage restaurant; today the building houses the School of Modern Play theatre.
In house no. 5 the composer Reinhold Glière wrote the music for the first Soviet ballet, The Red Poppy, in 1926–1927.
The cast-iron fence and the vases on granite pedestals at the Trubnaya entrance were installed in 1947.
