Turgenevskaya metro station was opened in 1972. It is located on the Riga-Kaluga line. This is one of the deep stations. It is located at a distance of forty-nine meters from the surface. But the technical characteristics of ordinary passengers are of little interest. Much more interesting are the sights located near the Turgenevskaya metro station. And there are a lot of them here.
Architectural features
Metro "Turgenevskaya" is a station located in the center of the city. Nearby are Chistye Prudy, without mentioning which even a brief digression into the history of Moscow is not complete. The exit from "Turgenevskaya" is carried out to Myasnitskaya Street, which should be given special attention. But first, let's talk about the architecture of the station itself.
The pylons are lined with light marble. There are brass inserts on the walls. Paul at the subway station"Turgenevskaya" was originally also lined with marble, but then this material was replaced with gray granite. The artist Chaim Rysin took part in the design, who also decorated such stations as "Kitay-Gorod", "Barrikadnaya", "Novoslobodskaya".
From the center of the hall you can go to the Sokolnicheskaya branch. Namely, at the Chistye Prudy station. But in order to be in the famous park area, it is not necessary to cross the subway. The exit from the metro station "Turgenevskaya" is carried out to Myasnitskaya Street, on the opposite side from Chistye Prudy. There are several overpasses here, and traffic is not particularly fast.
Myasnitskaya Street
The city of Moscow has an amazing history. Metro "Turgenevskaya" - the station, reaching which, the passenger finds himself in one of the most beautiful and comfortable areas of the capital. And it seems like it's always been that way. At least, a person who has not read the famous book of Gilyarovsky will think so. Where can you find yourself if you go up the long escalator from the Turgenevskaya metro station?
Exits lead to the square of the same name, Academician Sakharov Avenue and, as already mentioned, to Myasnitskaya. The name of this street suggests that far from people of art lived or worked here before. Until the end of the seventeenth century, where many cafes, restaurants and shops are now located, meat was sold. But the brisk merchants were pushed aside in the direction of Zemlyanoy Val. Street namehas not changed since then. However, in 1935 it was renamed, like many other objects in the city, and throughout the country. Until 1990, Myasnitskaya was Kirov Street.

Contemporary

But he quickly gained popularity among Muscovites, becoming a kind of symbol of creative freedom. It is worth saying that the theater troupe moved several times. Sovremennik settled on Chistoprudny Boulevard in the mid-seventies.
Sretensky Monastery
The monastery was founded in the fourteenth century, as evidenced by the chronicles. But the original building did not survive. Only the cathedral of the monastery has been preserved.
