Architectural features

Metro station "Turgenevskaya" is a station located in the city center. Not far away there are Chistye Prudy, without mentioning which even a brief excursion into the history of Moscow can not be avoided. The exit from the "Turgenevskaya" is carried out on the street Myasnitskaya, which should be given special attention. But first you need to talk about the architecture of the station itself.

The pylons are lined with light marble. On the walls are brass inserts. The floor at the metro station "Turgenevskaya" was originally also laid out with marble, but then this material was replaced with gray granite. The design was attended by artist Khaim Rysin, who also decorated such stations as "Kitay-Gorod", "Barrikadnaya", "Novoslobodskaya".

From the center of the hall you can go to the Sokolniki branch. Namely, the station "Clean Ponds." But in order to be in the famous park zone, it is not necessary to cross the subway. Exit the metro station "Turgenevskaya" to the street Myasnitskaya, on the opposite side of the Clean Ponds. There are several ground crossings, the traffic of cars is not particularly rapid.

Myasnitskaya Street

The city of Moscow has an amazing history . Metro "Turgenevskaya" - the station, reaching which the passenger is in one of the most beautiful and comfortable areas of the capital. And it seems like it's always been like this. At least, that's what a man thinks, who did not read Gilyarovsky's famous book. Where can you be if you climb up a long escalator from the metro station "Turgenevskaya"?

The exits lead to the square of the same name, Academician Sakharov Avenue and, as already mentioned, to Myasnitskaya. The name of this street says that before people lived here or worked, not people of art. Until the end of the seventeenth century, where many cafes, restaurants and shops are now located, meat was sold. But brisk merchants were pushed aside the Earth Wall. The name of the street has not changed since then. However, in 1935 it was renamed, like many other objects in the city, and throughout the country. Up until 1990, Myasnitskaya was the street of Kirov.
