Sovetskaya Street and its history

Other places

Sovetskaya Street is the central street of ancient Tver, on which several areas and many beautiful and ancient buildings of the city are "strung" like beads on a string. In fact, the street was formed after a terrible fire in 1763, which destroyed the Tver Kremlin and almost all the buildings in the city. After this tragedy, the Empress Catherine II allocated a million rubles to make the redevelopment of the central part of Tver. It was then that this street acquired its ceremonial, classic look.

After the fire, the grateful residents of the city started calling the new street as Ekaterininskaya. But in 1919 the name was changed to Sovetskaya. So far, the street is adorned with the building of a women's commercial college built in 1905, today it houses the gymnasium No. 6. The house No. 14, which the architect Lvov designed in the style of classicism, was housed by the Tver Nobility Assembly, but now this is the Officers' Club. Along the street there is a Central city park with a monument to the Prince Mikhail of Tver. The street ends with the Tver Mosque and the Transfiguration of the Lord Church. For a walk along the Sovetskaya Street, one can safely allocate several hours, so that not to hurry to look at the Tver, how it was at the very beginning of the XX century.
