Walking tours of Red Square. "Tour of Red Square." Summary of a lesson on familiarization with the outside world in the preparatory group. What to see on the excursion

It is worth mentioning that we have lined up all the sights of Red Square in a certain walking route, which you can easily use by downloading mobile application from Ever.Travel for iPhone or Android. In the application, you can not only use this route, but also create your own walks around Moscow, and even completely plan your entire trip.

In the application, just like on this page, all the attractions of Red Square in Moscow are described and arranged into a walking tour, and are also marked on an offline map. Therefore, even if you have never been to the center of the capital, you can easily figure out where you are from and where you need to go.

We suggest starting your walk from the Alexander Garden and going through Manezhnaya Square to Red Square. So, go ahead!

We will begin our walk at the Alexander Garden - a place known to all Muscovites and guests of the Russian capital. Convenient location close to many attractions, manicured lawns and luxurious flower beds, wide alleys and shady trees make it great place for relax.

The park's area is ten hectares - quite enough to wander among the trees in the very center of Moscow and escape from the city noise. There are always a lot of people here who want to relax and have fun. In spring and summer it’s nice to soak up the sun, and in winter it’s nice to go sledding down the hills that are built every year specifically for this purpose.

The Alexander Garden, as the name suggests, was laid out by order of Emperor Alexander I at the beginning of the 19th century, when Moscow was recovering from the destruction left by Napoleon's army. The project by architect Osip Bove included three sections - Upper, Lower and Middle gardens. Nowadays, this division is more conditional than official, although the entrance to the Lower Garden is closed to visitors.

In the Upper Garden you can see the “Ruins” grotto, which serves as a reminder of the Patriotic War of 1812. Also at the entrance to the garden is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Eternal flame– a memorial complex in honor of those killed during the Great Patriotic War.

Our next stop is the Moscow Manege - a historical building, which today is one of the largest museum and exhibition centers. After a major fire in 2004 destroyed the interiors and damaged appearance building, the Manege was seriously rebuilt. Before this, the most extensive restoration work was carried out in it in the 1930s.

During its entire existence, the Manege, which was initially an exclusively militaristic project where soldiers were supposed to undergo drills, served for the benefit of the army for only a few years.

Since 1831, various exhibitions began to be organized here - both cultural and technical: the huge room could fit an entire cavalry regiment, so there was enough space for any exhibits.

After the fall of the tsarist regime, the practice of using the Manege as a demonstration pavilion was picked up by the Soviet government, and subsequently Russian Federation. However, in the first half of the 20th century, a garage for government cars was located in the historical building for some time.

The architectural style of the Manege tends towards strict classicism, which at one time was a symbolic contrast to the previous medieval buildings, destroyed in the fire of the War of 1812. The project was proposed by the architect Augustin Bettencourt, and the Empire style facades were made by Osip Bove.

Manezhnaya Square today can be considered as a logical continuation of the park area of ​​the Alexander Garden. It was formed in the 1930s, when a large group of buildings located near the Manege were demolished for the construction of the metro.

In 1967, the square acquired a new name - the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, and at the same time they planned to erect a monument on it in honor of the anniversary of the Revolution, but this idea did not come true.

The 1990s were marked by the return of the square to its historical name and grandiose reconstructions under the leadership of Zurab Tsereteli. A huge underground complex “Okhotny Ryad” opened underground, and a cascade of fountains with sculptures appeared on top.

Timed to coincide with the celebration of the 850th anniversary of Moscow, the reconstruction actually turned Manezhnaya Square into a symbol of the new, modern Russia. In 1995, a monument to Georgy Zhukov was erected in the eastern part of the square.

A memorial in honor of Soviet soldiers who died in the name of the Great Victory in the war against Nazi Germany appeared near the Kremlin walls in the Alexander Garden in 1966, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Moscow. The ashes of an unknown soldier taken from a mass grave were buried here.

A year later, the famous architectural ensemble of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was opened on this site. The eternal flame was lit from the fire on the Leningrad Field of Mars. The lighting was solemnly carried out by L.I. Brezhnev, accepting the torch from the hands of Hero of the Soviet Union Alexei Maresyev.

The main guard post of Russia, known as the Guard of Honor or simply “Post No. 1,” is on duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The sentries of the Presidential Regiment change once an hour. Previously, they guarded the Lenin Mausoleum, but in 1997, by Presidential Decree, the post was moved to the memorial.

The architectural composition of the memorial is extremely simple - a lying battle flag, on it is a soldier’s helmet and a laurel branch. It is this simplicity and laconicism that evokes the strongest emotions, recalling the feat Soviet soldiers who fell in the name of peace and the Fatherland. “Your name is unknown, your feat is immortal” - you can read at the Eternal Flame.

The monument to Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov was originally planned to be erected directly on Red Square. However, this turned out to be impossible: the architectural ensemble of Red Square is an object of world cultural heritage UNESCO, and no changes can be made to it.

So, the monument to the great Soviet commander appeared in 1995 on Manezhnaya Square. The authors managed to make it realistic and at the same time deeply symbolic. Experts note a significant portrait resemblance and a clearly expressed strong-willed character of the sculpture.

Thematically, the monumental composition reflects a specific moment of the Victory Parade, which took place on June 22, 1945 on Red Square. Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov is depicted on a horse, raised in stirrups, with his right hand raised. The horse tramples defeated Nazi flags and standards with its hooves.

We also note that some critics believe that the monument is located a little poorly: it is lost in the shadow of the wall of the Historical Museum.

By the way, almost all the most expensive and pretentious hotels in Moscow are located in the area of ​​Manezhnaya and Red Square. Of course, you can stay there during your visit to the capital, but there are many other, more affordable and no less interesting offers. The most convenient way to find a suitable hotel is on the website Booking.com, where more than 1,200 accommodation options in Moscow are presented.

Between Manezhnaya and Red Square, very close to the Resurrection Gate, one of the sights of Moscow is hidden. You may not notice at first that under your feet there is the Zero Kilometer, from which all the roads of endless Russia are counted.

In fact, the “real” zero kilometer is located not far from the Central Telegraph, but for a symbolic marker, documentary accuracy is not so important.

Zero kilometer in the form of a visual object appeared here in 1995. The creation of the famous Moscow sculptor Alexander Rukavishnikov is a round metal sign built into the paving stones, on which is inscribed “Zero kilometer of highways of the Russian Federation.”

Please note that it is roads that are mentioned, because there is also the Zero Kilometer railway - it is located on the platform of the Yaroslavl station.

Around the sign there are four more parts of the composition, forming as a whole a square, pointing with its corners to the four parts of the world. It contains relief images of animals characteristic of different continents. According to the author, the circle is intended to symbolize harmony, and the square – paradise.

Tourists rarely pay attention to the deep meaning of the object, but in the hope of fulfilling their wishes, they gladly throw a coin over their shoulder while standing on the sign’s slab.

In the first half of the 16th century, a red brick wall with a length of more than two and a half kilometers was erected around Moscow's Kitay-Gorod. The purpose of building such a large-scale fortification was defense against attacks by the Crimean Tatars.

The two-arched Resurrection Gates, which can be seen between the Historical Museum and the State Duma, have survived to this day from the Kitai-Gorod Wall.

The gates installed in 1535 bore different names: at first they were Kuretny, then Neglimensky, and even later - Lion's (due to the menagerie of Ivan the Terrible located nearby). In 1680, a room with two octagonal hipped twin towers was built over the passage.

After the icon of the Resurrection of Christ was placed on the tower in 1689, the following name came into use - Resurrection Gate. In 1781, the gate became Iverskaya - after the Iverskaya Chapel was added to it, first wooden, and then stone.

From 1929 to 1931, both the chapel and the gate were demolished, but were restored to their classic appearance in the mid-1990s.

It is impossible to imagine the architectural ensemble of the center of Moscow without the building of the State Historical Museum. Despite the fact that it was built recently by historical standards - in late XIX century, it has long become one of business cards capital of Russia and a very popular attraction.

The beginning of the museum was laid during the Polytechnic Exhibition of 1872, individual exhibitions of which - namely those related to the Crimean War - became the first museum collection. Construction of the building for the new museum lasted from 1875 to 1881, and the interior decoration of some rooms was completed only in the 1910s.

Currently Historical Museum is a magnificent collection of various objects with a total number of about 22 thousand. The entire history of Russia, from ancient times to the 21st century, will appear before your eyes during the excursion. Excellent technical equipment and easy navigation help you get used to the four thousand square meters of exhibition halls.

A fascinating journey begins from the second floor - there you will learn about primitive societies that once inhabited Russian lands, then about Ancient Rus', about wars against external and internal enemies, about ancient cultural traditions. On the floor above you will be transported to the era of Peter I, and then to later periods - right up to the present day.

The Kazan Cathedral, which adorns Red Square, is one of the most revered Orthodox churches. It was built in the 17th century at the expense of Prince Dmitry Pozharsky and dedicated to the liberation of Russian lands from Polish-Lithuanian invaders in 1612.

The main shrine of the cathedral is the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, found in 1579 and transferred first to the Assumption Cathedral, and later to the newly built Kazan Cathedral.

The cathedral building was repeatedly reconstructed at the behest of different rulers. The worst thing happened to the holy place in 1936, when it was simply demolished to the ground.

The Kazan Cathedral was restored as the very first of all the lost religious buildings in Moscow. The temple was rebuilt in 1990-1993 mainly with funds from the city government, as well as through private donations. The interior walls were painted by Palekh and Bryansk masters.

The appearance of the Kazan Cathedral is quite cheerful and bright. It is crowned with one chapter, surrounded by many multi-level kokoshniks. The complex architectural composition is executed stylistically impeccably, so the cathedral looks solid and compact.

Nearby stands a tented bell tower, which is also an excellent example of Russian church architecture.

The soul and heart of Moscow is Red Square. This place witnessed the most fateful events in the life of the country; heralds read out the Tsar’s decrees from the Execution Place; troops advanced to war from the Kremlin through the Spassky Gate and rulers came out to the people.

And it all started quite prosaically: with retail space, taken outside the Kremlin walls in the 15th century. For several centuries there was brisk buying and selling: for those who were richer, stone shopping arcades were built, and simple people were located directly under open air. Grand fairs and cheerful folk festivals were also held here.

The appearance and character of the square began to change in 1625, when a Gothic tower was erected over the Spassky Gates, decorating the square. The area between the new Spasskaya Tower, St. Basil's Cathedral and Lobnoye Mesto was so beautiful that people began to call this part of the square “red” - that is, beautiful. Then this name spread to all the space unoccupied by shopping arcades, and in 1661, by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the square officially became Red.

Red Square is truly one of the most beautiful squares in the world, the buildings on it are dressed in scarlet and decorated in the style of Russian patterns. The fabulous St. Basil's Cathedral looks like a gingerbread palace, and the Kremlin towers and the Historical Museum, for all their solidity, are charming and look like illustrations from a colorful book about an ideal world.

The main department store in Moscow is not easy shopping mall where you can buy anything you want. GUM is a real legend.

Everyone born in the USSR knew about this store, even if they lived thousands of kilometers away. In times of shortages, when people arrived in the capital, the first thing they did was go to GUM - if not to buy something, then at least to look at it.

The current GUM building was built in 1893 on the site of the obsolete Upper shopping arcades. The Moscow Guild of Merchants announced a competition, in which the architect Pomerantsev won with the design of a building in a pseudo-Russian style, in harmony with other buildings on Red Square. Elements of Russian patterns and GUM turrets combine perfectly with the architecture of the ancient center of Moscow.

The grandiose store, built with money from the guild, was the pride of the Russian merchants until 1917, when the merchants were expelled from GUM, their goods were nationalized, and Soviet institutions, offices and communal apartments were placed in the shops, which existed here until the 1960s. They even wanted to demolish GUM, but the war prevented this, and after it it was decided to leave the building and revive it.

Today GUM is filled with modern trading departments, but references to the times when it was the main store of the USSR are still preserved: here you can hear Soviet hits, and in Gastronome No. 1 they sell tea with an elephant and juice in a three-liter jar.

The tomb of the leader of the world proletariat has become an integral part architectural ensemble Red Square. The embalmed body of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is housed in a tomb lined with granite, marble and porphyry, resembling a truncated three-stage pyramid.

Lenin's first mausoleum was made of wood according to Shchusev's design, and it was built urgently for the leader's funeral. The current mausoleum building is the third version that appeared after the Great Patriotic War.

During the war, Lenin's body was transported to Tyumen to protect it from assassination attempts and destruction. In 1945, the leader was returned to the capital, and the mausoleum was updated, adding stands from which the country's leaders made many fateful speeches.

The Lenin Mausoleum was repeatedly subjected to attempts at vandalism and sabotage; even the honor guard, who was on duty at the entrance to the tomb until 1993, could not save it from this. Since 1973, Lenin’s body has been kept in a bulletproof sarcophagus, and upon entering the mausoleum itself, visitors must go through a metal detector and leave all their belongings, including photographic equipment, at the entrance.

The main one of all 20 towers of the Moscow Kremlin is the Spasskaya Tower - one of the most recognizable symbols of Moscow and all of Russia. For most people in the vast expanses of the former USSR, the Spasskaya Tower also symbolizes New Year: For several decades, on the festive night, everyone was waiting for the chimes to strike.

The tower appeared in 1491 and was originally half as tall as it is now. In 1514, in honor of the capture of Smolensk, a gate icon of the Savior was installed, which was reputed to be miraculous.

Since then, the gates of the Spasskaya Tower were revered as sacred; one could only pass through them on foot; men had to bare their heads, and when passing by the icon, they had to bow. Even great princes, kings of Rus', foreigners and people of other faiths observed this custom, and the violator made 50 prostrations to the icon as punishment.

The tower acquired its current majestic appearance in 1625, when the English architect Galloway came up with a multi-tiered tent in the Gothic style. A clock was installed in the stone tent, which was subsequently replaced several times.

The chimes that count today Moscow time, installed in 1852. By the way, the melodies in the clocks were changed even more often - mainly to please the tastes of the rulers.

Above the chimes, on a thin spire, a scarlet star has been burning for 77 years, which replaced the gilded double-headed eagle that adorned the tower from the 17th century until 1935.

The grand opening of the monument to Minin and Pozharsky on Red Square took place in 1818 in the presence of Alexander I and a large gathering of people. The monument immortalized the feat of two national heroes of Russia, who in 1612 played a vital role in the victory over the Polish-Lithuanian occupiers.

The sculptural composition created by Ivan Martos depicts Kuzma Minin addressing the wounded Dmitry Pozharsky with a call to become the head of the Russian army in the fight for the defense of the Fatherland. With one hand, Minin seems to point to the Kremlin, which is under threat of invasion by foreigners. The monument looks very colorful and original: the author tried to work within the framework of classicism, but did not abandon national motifs.

IN Soviet time The monument to Minin and Pozharsky survived, although it was under threat of demolition - it interfered with festive demonstrations and processions. In 1931, the monument was moved to St. Basil's Cathedral, where it stands to this day, which is why Minin points not to the Kremlin, but somewhere in the GUM area.

Probably the most recognizable architectural object in Moscow, besides the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower, can safely be called St. Basil's Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Intercession Holy Mother of God on the Moat.

This is a symbol not only of Moscow, but of almost all of Russia. The cathedral as part of Red Square is on the list World Heritage UNESCO since 1990.

The architecture of the cathedral is very expressive: the composition consists of several churches topped with colorful painted domes located at different heights.

The cathedral was built from 1555 to 1561 at the behest of Ivan the Terrible to commemorate the victory over the powerful Kazan Khanate, therefore each throne in the temples was consecrated in honor of the holidays on which the main battles occurred. Kazan fell on the day of the celebration of the Intercession of the Mother of God - this gave the original name to the cathedral.

The chapel of St. Basil's appeared much later, in 1588. It contained the relics of the local holy fool Vasily, who died in the 1550s and is known for the fact that even Ivan the Terrible himself was afraid of him. Since then, the cathedral has received a second dedication - in the name of St. Basil.

With the advent of Soviet power, the cathedral was not demolished; it was too beautiful and unique. For a long time there was a museum here. Into the Russian bosom Orthodox Church the cathedral returned in 1991. Now worship services are held here again.
