The observation deck on the Sparrow Hills is perhaps the most famous observation point in Moscow. It can be reached by metro, having reached the Vorobyovy Gory station (the first car from the center) and having overcome a long ascent. Of course, you can’t compare with the Caucasus, but on the average Russian scale it’s quite a mountain for yourself: 0) You can also get to the Universitet metro station - you won’t even have to overcome the ascent. . However, Muscovites usually get here, celebrating the weddings of their friends, and guests of the capital - on buses with excursions.
Across the river you can see the huge Luzhniki stadium. The opening ceremony of the 1980 Olympics was held at this stadium and Viktor Tsoi gave one of the last concerts. It is here that Spartak Moscow is holding home games now. On match days, you can find me on the A5 stand.
On the left hand rises a huge business complex
The 40-story Skyscrapers on Begovaya (on the right) are lost compared to the whopper City
On the right hand side you can see the building of the Academy of Sciences, the Vorobyovy Gory metro station on a two-tier bridge and the Shukhov TV tower.
All this adds up to a wonderful panorama, which can be seen by clicking on the following photo.
On the left in the picture is a building under construction, dubbed "The Heart of Moscow" - a red lantern with several floors in it pulsates like a heart. Then you can see the already mentioned Moscow-City complex. A little to the right are barely visible at night - the skyscrapers on Begovaya and the bright lights of the Third Transport Ring. Next you can see the Stalin skyscraper of the hotel Ukraine. Between two smoking chimneys distinguish the needle of the Ostankino tower, at the second chimney the White House of the government. To the right of the famous house - a high-rise book on Kudrinskaya Square, better known as the house on Barrikadnaya. A little to the right and lower in the photo is the white candle of the bell tower of the Novodevichy Convent. The next vertical line visible to the eye is the powerful skyscraper of the Foreign Ministry building. In the center behind the large sports arena of Luzhniki, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the bell tower of the Ivan the Great Moscow Kremlin rise. True, it is already quite difficult to distinguish the bell tower at night. Another visible Stalin skyscraper from the Sparrow Hills is the skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, it is slightly to the right of the stadium. In the right part of the image is the slightly illuminated Shukhov Tower, known for the New Year's “Blue” lights and the already mentioned building of the Academy of Sciences. Under it is a bridge with a metro station, and in the right corner of the picture you can see the springboard arc. I think an attentive eye will find more familiar buildings. They say that even in the daytime, from here you can see the house in which Ravshan and Dzhamshut from Our Rashi repaired their first apartment in the very first season of the series ...
Not far from the observation deck, the Trinity Church of the Life-Giving Church on the Sparrow Hills has settled down. The history of this church is connected with the village of Vorobyovo, which existed here already in the middle of the 15th century, by whose name this area was named. The church miraculously managed to avoid the fate of many other Moscow churches in Soviet times. And to this day, she continues to delight everyone with a bell ringing, which in the evenings spreads over the slopes of the Moscow River.
And opposite the observation deck of the Sparrow Hills stands the main building of Moscow State University
This skyscraper was erected at the suggestion of Stalin in 1949-1953 by architects B. M. Iofan, L. V. Rudnev, S. E. Chernyshev, P. V. Abrosimov, A. F. Khryakov and V. N. Nasonov.
At the time of construction, the building was the highest in Moscow; its height, together with the spire, is 240 meters.
This is probably worth finishing the photo walk - because the batteries of the camera and the fingers quickly freeze on a winter night: 0) I hope in the future we will be able to continue the story of the Vorobyovy Gory and the Moscow State University with new photos.
The observation deck, which is located on the Sparrow Hills, is probably the most popular observation point of the capital, in addition, it is the highest point of the city.
The Sparrow Hills overlook the Luzhniki Stadium, the business center of the city, Moscow City, the Academy of Sciences, the Vorobyovy Gory metro station. Also from the observation platform you can see the Shukhov TV tower. All of these views are magnificent panoramas.
