Kitai-gorod is a large settlement that surrounded the Kremlin from the east. It starts from Red Square (formerly considered part of it), borders Okhotny Ryad, Theater Square and Theater Passage in the north, Lubyanskaya and Staraya Squares in the east, and Moskva River in the south. Scientists have been arguing for many years and interpreting the name Kitay-gorod in different ways. Most importantly, it clearly has nothing to do with China and translate into English language him as "Chinatown" is wrong. Many are inclined to believe that this is an “average” city or a “fortress”-city like the Pechenegs and Polovtsians. In Podolia, where Elena Glinskaya (mother of Ivan the Terrible) comes from, the word “china” or “kytai” means a fortress. Moreover, in 1538, by her decree, to protect against the invasion of the Tatars and Lithuanians, a large wall was erected around the entire Posad, which, in addition to the houses of many noble citizens, included all merchants' shops, auctions, or markets, holy temples and Red Square. The wall was built in three years, had a length of about 2.5 km, a wall thickness of up to 6 m, a height of about 6.5 m. The wall had 14 towers, the most famous of which are Neglinnaya or Iverskaya (named after the later built chapel), Troitskaya, Vladimirskaya, Ilyinskaya, Varvarskaya and Moskvoretskaya. The wall stood for almost 400 years and was dismantled in 1932-1935. Two pieces of the wall remained - from Revolution Square behind the Metropol Hotel and from Varvarskaya Square to the embankment. We will start our walk around Kitai-Gorod from the Kazan Cathedral, which opens Nikolskaya Street.

• Trade on Ilyinka has been going on since ancient times. Ivan the Terrible moved all the merchants to Kitay-Gorod, where he ordered to build a Gostiny Dvor for them with wooden benches. On the site of this courtyard, or rather the stone Gostiny Dvor, which appeared instead of the wooden one, architects S.A. Karin and I.A. Selekhov to build a new Gostiny Dvor. The project by Giacomo Quarenghi was sent from St. Petersburg. Elegant in the classical style, Gostiny Dvor occupied the entire space between Ilyinka and Varvarka, including the old shopping malls and the former courtyard building. He became a model for Gostiny Dvor in all trading cities Russia. A gigantic quadrangle, surrounded by an arcade, towered over the low buildings of Kitay-gorod. Separate shops were collected together, but isolated inside with thick walls. Large warehouses, comfortable shops met all the requirements of the Moscow merchants. Only wholesale trade was carried out here.

  We approach the house 8 on Ilyinka

• "Ambassador's Compound"

  Behind the Stock Exchange building, which we have already talked about, is the building of the Volga-Kama Bank, built by the architect Freidenberg, in a very magnificent style of beautiful eclecticism. In the 17th century on Ilyinka, on the site between the Church of Dmitry Solunsky in Rybny Lane and Nikolsky Lane, was built The Embassy Court is a huge building intended for foreign ambassadors and their retinues. The name "Ambassador's Yard" remained behind this site until the revolution of 1917. The Yard stood here for more than a hundred years and is described in detail in the memoirs of foreigners who visited Moscow during this period. AT late XVIII in. the property was owned by the merchants A. Pavlov and N. Kalinin. The merchants decide to build a large tenement house. The project of the building is being developed by the architect M.F. Kazakov. On the site of the old Embassy Court, a spacious commercial and residential building appeared, built in the classical style - with a portico, Corinthian columns, reminiscent of the Embassy Court with arched vaults of the first floor windows. The building belonged to two owners and therefore was divided by a main wall into two unequal parts. In this form, the building stood until 1888, when the Moscow Merchant Society acquired a site for the construction of two buildings that could be leased to various commercial enterprises. The restructuring project was entrusted to the architect B.V. Freidenberg. The building was rented by Volzhsko-Kamsky commercial Bank which existed until 1917.

Kitay-gorod is located in the very center of Moscow, covering significant historical monuments Russian capital. The area has existed since the 16th century. Initially, Kitai-Gorod was the name given to the territory inside the large fortress wall, including Nikolskaya Street, Varvarka and Ilyinka, as well as Zaryadye. From the fortress wall to date, a segment has been preserved behind the Metropol Hotel; on Teatralny proezd part of the nameless corner tower; arch leading to Nikolskaya street through Tretyakovsky passage; the foundation of the wall under the road near the Lubyanka metro station; Resurrection Gate on Red Square; from the former Varvarskaya Tower, a part of the masonry remains, which can be seen in the underpass of the Kitai-Gorod metro station.

Modern borders of Kitay-Gorod

Kitai-Gorod covers an area of ​​approximately 70 hectares. Includes Nikolskaya street to Kremlevsky passage, Varvarka street to Vasilyevsky descent, Ilyinka street from Novaya to Red square, Vasilyevsky descent, Red Square, Revolution Square, Nikitnikov lane, Moskvoretskaya street and embankment, as well as Bolshoy Cherkassky, Rybny, Bogoyavlensky, Staropansky, Vetoshny , Nikolsky, Ipatiev lanes.

Name

Why is the historical district of Moscow - Kitay-Gorod - bears this name? This question is still of interest to many Muscovites. The name is interpreted in different ways. Some try to find roots in foreign languages, others associate with the worldwide Chinese market. Many believe that it comes from the word "kita", meaning something intertwined, tied into a braid. The fortifications of Kitay-gorod were built using poles, which were tied together with young shoots. Wicker parts were placed at a short distance from each other, and the gaps were covered with clay, earth or stone. The result was a very strong wall. The large wall was intended to protect against Tatar and Lithuanian raids.

Also, the appearance of the name is associated with the influence of the mother of Ivan the Terrible, Elena Glinskaya, under whom a wall was built around the entire Kitai-Gorod (Veliky Posad). In her homeland, in Podolia, "china" or "kytai" corresponds to the definition of "fortress".

Story

In the 14th century, a settlement began to form near the Kremlin walls. People settled closer to the Kremlin, so that during enemy raids there was an opportunity to hide behind strong walls. Posad grew rapidly, and the Kremlin could no longer accommodate the entire population. An earthen rampart and a ditch filled with water no longer held back the enemies, and arson became more frequent. There was a need for the construction of a new protective fence. Elena Glinskaya in 1534 issued a decree in which she ordered to dig a ditch even deeper and build high and strong walls.

They invited the Italian architect Petrok Maly. Merchants and boyars helped the construction with money, the inhabitants of the settlement worked tirelessly. Strong stakes were fastened with flexible rods and installed on bulk shafts at small intervals in two rows, the voids were covered with stones. As a result, a wall 6 meters thick, 2.5 kilometers long and about 6.5 meters high was erected in three years. The fortress wall had 7 gates and 14 towers. The construction began from the Dog Tower (today it is called Arsenalnaya) and stretched along the Neglinnaya River to the Lubyanka, reaching the Nikolskaya Tower, turning to the Corner and going south - to the Beklemishevskaya Tower.

Gradually, the nobility, and later merchants and clerks began to move to Kitay-Gorod. The area is growing and developing. By the beginning of the 17th century, Kitai-Gorod was a center of education and book printing. In the 18-19 centuries - the center of trade, in the 20th century - the center of the business life of the city.

The Kitaigorod wall was indeed an outstanding structure. Having stood for 400 years, it was dismantled in the 30s of the 20th century. Some parts of the wall, towers and gates have survived and have been restored at the present time.

Zaryadye Park

Between Varvarka and Moskvoretskaya Embankment, on the site of the former Rossiya Hotel, there is Zaryadye Park. It was opened to the public in 2017, but some park facilities are still being completed. Historical monuments have been preserved on the territory of Zaryadye, including the Old English Court, the Romanovs' chambers, several churches and a complex of tenement houses by Z. M. Persits. Zaryadye is positioned as a "park of the present future."

Working mode: around the clock. The pavilions are open on Monday from 14:00 to 21:00, from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 21:00.

GUM (Upper shopping arcade)

Trading shops on the site of GUM existed in the 15th century. Then they were wooden and were divided according to the type of goods. This territory was called the Upper Trading Rows (there were also middle and lower ones). Gradually, all wooden shops became stone, and a second floor was built above the gallery of the Upper Trading Rows. The Classicist shopping complex appeared after a fire in 1815, and the next reconstruction ended in 1893.

AT Soviet time When the revolution ended, apartments for politicians of the USSR, as well as offices, were organized in the malls. At one time, they wanted to completely demolish the building, and build the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry in its place. But these ideas were not implemented, and trade resumed in the already restored GUM building in the middle of the 20th century. GUM is still called the Upper Trading Rows today.

Working mode: daily 10:00-22:00

Gostiny Dvor

The building of Gostiny Dvor is located at the central trading place in Kitay-gorod between Ilyinka and Varvarka streets. Initially, the buildings were wooden. Not only locals traded here, but also visiting merchants, who often stayed in the Gostiny Dvor for the night.

In the middle of the 17th century Gostiny Dvor was built in stone and divided into four parts. Barns and trade shops were placed in the Old and New Yards, huts and shops with the corresponding goods were placed in Salt and Rybny. Gradually, the Gostiny Dvor expands, buildings are completed and high walls are erected around the courtyard. Having existed until the end of the 18th century, Gostiny Dvor began to fall apart. The architect J. Kvarnegi worked on the project of the new courtyard, and the construction was carried out under the direction of M. Kazakov. The three-storey Palladian building was completed in 1805. But literally 7 years later, the Gostiny Dvor burned down again, and the shops were looted. The next stage of reconstruction was completed in 1830, and in 1838 Gostiny Dvor received the prefix "old", as the New Gostiny Dvor complex was being built nearby.

In the course of a five-year restoration (since 1996), the Old Gostiny Dvor changed its original appearance - attic floors, a domed roof, and a granite covering of the courtyard covered with a transparent structure appeared. Not everyone approved of the new look of the courtyard. After perestroika, it began to stand out from the general architectural style of Kitay-gorod.

Today, the Old Gostiny Dvor is a complex of premises with an area of ​​12,000 m². Here is an archaeological museum, a fashion museum, an art gallery, shops, offices, salons. And it's also huge Exhibition Center where fashion weeks, fairs, festivals, exhibitions are held.

Revolution square

In the old days, the Neglinnaya River flowed through the territory of the modern square. Built in 1538, the fortress wall of Kitay-gorod stretched along the river along the left bank. Later, a bridge was thrown across the river, which was called Voskresensky. In the time of Peter the Great, earthen bastions were erected between the Neglinnaya and the fortress wall. They were demolished at the beginning of the 19th century, and the river was enclosed in a pipe. It was then that Voskresenskaya Square appeared on this site, which received its name from the gates of the same name located nearby. After the revolution of 1917, the square was renamed Revolution Square in honor of the October armed uprising.

Kazan Cathedral

The place on which the cathedral was built has a historical background. Here in 1612 there was a battle with the Poles. Army militia led by Dmitry Pozharsky liberated the Kremlin. In honor of this event, a wooden church was erected at the expense of Pozharsky in 1620, in which the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was transferred for storage. Under the Romanovs, the Kazan Cathedral was rebuilt of brick during restoration after a fire.

In subsequent years, the cathedral was rebuilt many times, new elements and decorations were added. In Soviet times, P. Baranovsky was engaged in the reconstruction of the cathedral and planned to return it to its original appearance, retaining the decor of the 17th century. But this was not destined to happen. The temple was demolished in 1936. But the history of the Kazan Cathedral does not end there. In 1990, the restoration of the temple in its original form began.

Numerous shops stood on the square, which were then rebuilt into shopping arcades. Later, merchants began to settle in Kitai-Gorod, who opened nominal trade and business farmsteads. Some of them can still be seen on the streets of Kitay-gorod.

Chizhovskoe Compound

The site, on which the business courtyard of the Chizhov brothers was built in the second half of the 19th century, was transferred and repurchased for many years. The Chizhovs made this place the largest and most famous quarter of Kitay-gorod. They built a complex of buildings of three floors, erected a hotel and places for trade.

Today, nothing remains of the 19th century buildings, except for the facade. Some of the buildings were demolished to build a parking lot. But next to the former courtyard, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, built in 1691, has been preserved and operates.

The Sheremetev family owned part of the land along Nikolskaya Street for more than a hundred years. Ownership was inherited.

Sergei Dmitrievich Sheremetev took up the restructuring of the courtyard in the Art Nouveau style in 1900. The well-known at that time Brocard store and the Malevsky crystal store, Shustov's wine store, as well as the hotel building were located here.
