Krutitskaya Compound: Moscow Medieval
Description:
In the valleys and the highlands,
Through the fallen Novospassky,
To the Krutitsky farmstead
We rush to meet the fairy tale...
A fascinating tour of a small protected corner on Taganka, in which a surprising way
The true spirit of the Russian Middle Ages is preserved. Where else can you find a place where time seems to have stopped, where nothing has changed for hundreds of years, and it seems that the sky is especially close to the Earth? Patterned chambers with intricate casings, tented turrets, an ancient tower covered with colored tiles. Here even the cobblestone is the oldest in Moscow, because it has been preserved since the 19th century!
It's not just a tour. You will be a part of a real adventure - you will guess puzzles.
You will search for notes hidden under old stones, you will try to guess why the Tile Teremok shows its front side outside, and the Metropolitan Chambers hide its beauty from passers-by, learn what films were shot on the courtyard and what legends it keeps, as well as who Stepan Polubes is and how his works to this day adorn the Moscow streets.
