The Discover Moscow portal has six new audio guides for independent walks around the city. Now residents and guests of the capital can go on an audio-guided tour, during which they will be told about iconic architectural sites.
“We try to make getting to know the history and architecture of Moscow fascinating and accessible to everyone. It is important to us that everyone can explore the city at any time in a convenient format and at their own pace. Therefore, adding audio guides to thematic routes is one of our traditional areas of work to popularize the cultural heritage of the capital,” said the head of the Moscow City Heritage Department.
One of the routes is dedicated to the 240th anniversary of the birth of the architect Osip Bove, who restored the center of Moscow after the fire of 1812. Among his significant works are the Gostiny Dvor building and the Theater Square with the Bolshoi Theater. Another route introduces listeners to the work of Fyodor Shekhtel. It is dedicated to the 165th anniversary of the architect’s birth.
An audio version has also appeared for the route “From Krasnye Vorota to Chistoprudny Boulevard”, which runs along the historic Myasnitskaya Street – once an important commercial artery of the city. It was home to famous shops, theaters and art galleries, as well as buildings mentioned in the works of Russian classics (for example, Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoevsky).
Another excursion goes along Varvarka, one of the oldest streets in the capital. According to legend, it was along this street that Dmitry Donskoy returned from Kulikovo Field. The Church of All Saints was consecrated in memory of the fallen soldiers. It became the first church-monument to Russian military glory.
The audio version of the route “Along Sukharevskaya Square and Sretenka Street” is now also available, introducing the history of one of the most famous corners of Moscow. The legendary Sukharev Tower, which served as a symbol of the city for a long time, was located here. Despite the fact that the structure was demolished in 1934, its history continues to attract the attention of researchers and tourists, remaining an important part of the cultural past of the capital.
The sixth route passes through the territory of the Novodevichy Convent, which celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2024. This architectural monument, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, is associated with the fates of Russian monarchs and holds many legends.
