The Alexander Garden

The Alexander Garden is located along the

northwestern wall of the Kremlin, over the river Neglinnaya which is locked

into the steel tube. The garden was planted in 1820-1821 by the order of

Alexander I.

This beautiful green space has got paths,

flower gardens and monuments. It is one of the most favorite places for

Muscovites and tourists. The paradox is that there, in the very heart of Moscow,

you won’t feel the noise of the city.

The Alexander Garden is decorated with a

huge iron gate opening the main entrance from the Kremlin passage and the Historical

Museum.

The gate is filled with the symbols of military triumph, which remind visitors

of the victory in the Patriotic War of 1812. The gate faces the monument to the

national hero, Marshal Zhukov. The monument is dedicated to the 50th

anniversary of the victory in World War II.

On the main square of the Alexander Garden

there is a monument to the victory over Napoleon in the war of 1812. Visitors

can see a grotto with ruins of the building destroyed by Napoleon's army. The

Alexander Garden has the tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is one of the major

war memorials of the city.

Not far from the grotto you can see the

tall obelisk with a pointed top, which appeared in the Alexander Garden in

1914. It was originally called the Romanov and was built to celebrate the 300

years of the reign of the Romanov dynasty. But after the revolution, the

monarchy monument turned into the revolutionary one: the names of the Romanovs

were replaced with the names of revolutionary figures of all time.
