Alexander Garden in Kirov
Description:
Alexander Garden is one of the oldest urban parks of Kirov, recognized as an object of cultural heritage of the Russian Federation. The park is located in the eastern part of the city, close to the embankment of Vyatka.
The park was founded in 1825 after a visit to Kirov by the Russian Emperor Alexander I, and to the public this beautiful place opened ten years later. The area of the Alexander Garden was more than 50 thousand square meters. Beautiful entrance portico and cast-iron fence, created by the famous architect Alexander Vitberg, appeared much later - in 1840.
Alexander Garden is very beautiful - its green alleys are considered a magnificent example of park architecture in the style of classicism. This is a favorite place for walking residents of Kirov, and in addition, the park is one of the main city attractions.
