Rozhdestvensky Boulevard


Rozhdestvensky Boulevard is a major boulevard in Meshchansky District of Moscow, Russia. It begins at Trubnaya Square and ends at Sretenka Gates in the same district, which emerged in 14th century simultaneously with nearby Sretensky Monastery. The fortress wall existed here from 1590s to 1760; boulevard was planted in 1820s, after the Fire of Moscow cleared way for city redevelopment.
Apart from the operating monastery, present-day boulevard retains a few historical buildings, while others were replaced with concrete replicas or torn down completely. The blocks immediately north from Trubnaya Square are being redeveloped right now.
