Metamorphosis of Red Square and Alexander Garden

Red Square is a place where trade, celebrations, solemn ceremonies have been held for centuries. Here are the symbols of the city and the country and at the same time monuments to important victories of the past. Along the other wall of the Kremlin stretched Alexander Garden with its set of monuments and at the same time with the comfort of lilacs and fountains.

We will go around Red Square and discuss how it has changed over the centuries and how the current ensemble was formed. We will figure out which of the towers first received elegant decorations and a high tent and which one was the last. Let’s see where the first building of Moscow University was and why it moved from Red Square to the river. Let’s talk about trade on the square in ancient times, in pre-revolutionary times and in the GUM, which many still remember from childhood.

After that, we will look into the Alexander Garden and see its numerous monuments dedicated to the most difficult periods in the history of the state, as well as Russian fairy tales.
