Guide to Moscow Streets

The Triumphal Ploschad is named after the Triumphal Gate constructed in 1721. Peter I entered the capital through it after his victory in North War. Hereafter there were constructed few more wooden Triumphal arches, and all of them had burnt. And the only remained arch was built at the Tverskaya Zastava Square; later it was moved to a new place near the museum of Borodino battle. Now the only triumph of this square is the theatres located here. One of them is the Chaikovsky Concert hall. Formerly Meierhold’s theatre was placed here, but in 1938 Meierhold was arrested, the theatre was closed and the building was given to the Moscow Philharmonic. The Theatre of Satire is located at the building of the former Circus.
