🚶 Moskovskaya Street

Звенигород, Московская ул.

The main street of old Zvenigorod with 19th-century merchant houses, coffee shops and small stores.

It is the oldest surviving street name in the town: it comes from the Moscow road shown on the plan of 1766.
According to a plan of the 1780s a market square was laid out in the middle of the street; its outlines can be guessed from the Military Glory Memorial and the Chekhov Square.
The Ascension Cathedral at the start of the street was built in 2007 on the site of a church that had stood here since 1798.
The Church of Alexander Nevsky at the end of the street was founded in 1898 in memory of Alexander III.
