      🏛 Minin and Pozharsky Square

      пл. Минина и Пожарского

      The city's main square by the Dmitrovskaya Tower of the kremlin: Bolshaya Pokrovskaya, Verkhne-Volzhskaya Embankment and Zelensky Descent all branch off from here.

      • The square used to be called Verkhnebazarnaya: it was the center of the Upper Posad, where overland trade routes met.
      • It is named after Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, who raised the 1611–1612 militia in Nizhny.
      • The copy of the Minin and Pozharsky monument from Red Square stands not here but under the kremlin walls, on People's Unity Square.
      • On the square are Minin University, the Chkalov monument and the city's first fountain.
      • The square is open to traffic: it is closed to cars only on public holidays.
