Khlebnaya Square, Revel and Bread Purchase and Sale

Other places

Khlebnaya Square (Khlebnaya Ploshchad) is the oldest in Samara. It long housed the objects being vital to any city: a bread quay, bread exchange, bread factory and grain elevator. From here, ships loaded with grain exported it outside of Russia through Samarka River. In 1889, there were publications in “Samarets” journal saying that the Queen of England had breakfast with biscuits baked just from local wheat, which was the best in the world.

From the mid-19th century onwards, Khlebnaya Square was the largest bread market in the Volga region. The architectural dominant here was the neo-classical building of bread exchange, built in the late XIX century. An ancient grain elevator has also been preserved. In the XVIII century, there stood a fortress in place of the square, the ruins of which were found during excavations in 2011. Interestingly, Khlebnaya Square had also an unofficial name - Revel: it was the name of a tavern standing here, where grain and bread purchase and sale transactions were made.
