I live in Moscow. It's an ancient historical city. It was founded in 1147 by Russian prince Yuri Dolgorukiy. Now Moscow is the fifth largest city in the world, its population is over 9 million people. It is a colourful and pulsating metropolis with innumerable places of interest and never-ending charm. Moscow is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The centre of Moscow is the Kremlin which was built on the left bank of the Moskva River. A boat trip on this river will open to you such city’s beauties as the Novodevichy monastery, Gorky Park and the Kremlin. Among the historical monuments inside the Kremlin there are the Cannon Tsar and the Bell Tsar -(both are the largest in the world), made by Russian masters, the Armoury Chamber, the Archangel, the Assumption and the Annunciation Cathedrals.
The Kremlin is a real masterpiece of architecture. In Red Square, near the Kremlin there is St. Basil’s Cathedral – another masterpiece of architecture.
Visitors, can find a lot of other places of interest in Moscow, such as the Moscow University area and the observation platform from which you can see a panorama of Moscow and all the monumental buildings. Moscow metro is a unique masterpiece of its kind. There is no other city in the world where every metro station is a stunning work of art. Other places of interest that attract tourists are Arbat Street and the Exhibition area. There are also a lot of museums and art galleries in Moscow. The most famous and popular art museums are the Tretyakov Art Gallery and the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum. There are a lot of theatres and concert halls in Moscow. The most popular theatres are the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre, the Maly Theatre, the Puppet Theatre named after Obraztsov, the Chaikovsky Concert Hall and many others. The Sovremennik theatre is known to stage only plays written in the last several decades. The Lenkom theatre is famous for its rock-operas, a rather exotic genre on Russian stage.
Among the new sights that have appeared recently are the Monument on Poklonnaya Mount and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in the centre of Moscow.
One can never have enough of Moscow. It takes just one visit to Moscow to fall in love with the city. Moscow is a magnificent city. I like our capital its hospitable people!
