🚶 Prechistenskaya Embankment

Пречистенская наб.

The embankment between Krymsky Bridge and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour with views of the Bolotny Island spit, the Peter the Great monument and the Krasny Oktyabr buildings.

The embankment got its name in the 18th century from the neighbouring Prechistenka; from 1924 to 1993 it was called Kropotkinskaya.
No. 29 is the "Russian-style" mansion of the collector Ivan Tsvetkov, built in 1901 to sketches by Viktor Vasnetsov; in 1909 Tsvetkov gave it to the city along with his collection.
No. 11 is the former Ermakov Electrotechnical School of 1904: the first building in Moscow built on reinforced-concrete piles.
The bank building at No. 9 (1995, architects Alexander Skokan and colleagues) won the State Prize of Russia.
On the corner with Soymonovsky Proyezd stands the fairy-tale Pertsova apartment building, designed by the artist Sergei Malyutin; its basement housed the Letuchaya Mysh (Bat) cabaret in 1908–1910.
The pedestrian Patriarshy Bridge spans the embankment, leading from the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour to Bolotny Island.
