Tverskaya ploshchad

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:04:55

A statue of the founder of Moscow, Yury Dolgoruky , presides over this prominent square near the bottom of Tverskaya ul. So does Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, as the buffed-up five-storey building opposite is the Moscow mayor’s office . Many ancient churches are hidden in the back streets, including the 17th-century Church of Sts Kosma & Damian .
