Walk along Spiridonovka. New cultural and exhibition center "pomegranate yard" Exhibition on Spiridonovka
It is pleasant to walk along this street, especially on a weekend, when there are few cars, so we turn off Malaya Nikitskaya. Behind the museum-apartment of A.M. Gorky and our walk along Spiridonovka begins. The street is named after the church of St. Spiridonius on the Goat swamp. Once this was the name of this area where wild goats were found, and Spiridonius was a shepherd in his youth. He is revered by the church as the patron saint of shepherds, goats and agriculture in general. Over time, houses were built around the stream in the swamp, then luxurious mansions. In modern times, the church was demolished, Spiridonovka was renamed Alexei Tolstoy Street, and embassies occupied the mansions. But still, despite the high-rise buildings built back in Soviet times, here and now it smells of Old Moscow.
In addition to the fact that on Spiridonovka there are two mansions built by Shekhtel, two literary museums, a monument to Alexander Blok, here you can see many interesting buildings in very good condition. On Sunday, people often meet on this street with maps, guidebooks, just looking at buildings and with cameras, in general, the walk turned out to be with positive emotions.
1. The beginning of Spiridonovka - house number 3/5, one of the oldest buildings in Moscow, the chamber of the Pomegranate Court. From this place you can see the arrow with Granatny Lane, on the arrow there is a pink house in the shape of an iron, forming the direction of Spiridonovka.
2. In the 14th century, workshops were located in the Grenade Yard, where explosive artillery shells were made. In Soviet times, there were almost ruins, and in the 1970s, the building was threatened with demolition. Fortunately, this time everything ended well, and in the 90s the complex finally began to be restored. After restoration or reconstruction, according to experts, the building was adapted for the Association of Interior Designers.

5. The corner house at number 2/9 was built in 1902 for merchants, brothers Mikhail and Nikolai of Armenia. This profitable house with a hostel for poor Armenian students who studied in Moscow was built in two stages: in 1899, along Granatny Lane, a three-story eclectic-style stone house was built according to the project of architect G.A. Kaiser, and in 1902 the architect V.A. Velichkin, the author of the Savoy Hotel in Moscow, a master of Moscow Art Nouveau, erected a massive four-story building that adjoined the house in Granatny and continued along the perimeter of Spiridonovka. The façade was already decorated in Art Nouveau style. The house acquired its current appearance in the late 1930s, when its four-story part was built on one floor, and the three-story part - two.
Until 1917, a large family of its owners lived in the house. N.P. Armenian was a member of the Russian Photographic Society. His brother M.P. Armenian was one of the founders of the Society of ski lovers. In one of the apartments there was a private school for children, which was headed by A.F. Armenian. From the moment of construction, the apartments of this house have always been inhabited by creative intelligentsia: architects, writers. Various parties were held in the apartments of this house and bohemian life reigned. Now there are still residential apartments in the house, with the exception of the first floor, where, in addition to the Open Club contemporary art gallery, various organizations are located.
6. Residential building No. 9 of the merchant H. Pavlov (reconstructed in 1994) is a two-story brick house built according to an individual project in the classical style.
7. Nice mansion is an object of cultural heritage, built in 1895. Symmetrically located entrances are highlighted with light openwork visors.
8. House No. 10, built in 1905 by architect P. V. Skosyrev by order of His Majesty the Emperor for the artists of the Bolshoi Theater. The mansion with a beautiful facade is located in a quiet fenced square.
9. The main marble staircases, arched windows and stucco moldings, reminiscent of the historical, theatrical past of this house, have been preserved in the house.
10. The house at 11 Spiridonovka is also an architectural monument. The city estate of A.F. Belyaev, built in 1902-1904 by the architect I. I. Boni, is an object of cultural heritage of federal significance. The house was built in the style of "rational modern" for a famous doctor who saw Chaliapin and Sobinov. An unusual fence makes the house very attractive. And the building itself was built as an imitation of the Ryabushinsky mansion, which is located at the beginning of the street. At present, house number 11 is the embassy of Peru, right behind the fence - the possessions of Algeria.
11. Look at the beginning of Spiridonovka, houses 2/9, 9, 11 are visible on the right side.
12. House number 13 - R.I. Geste was built in 1907 by architect S.S. Schutzman, and again an object of cultural heritage. This mansion houses the Algerian embassy.
13. Address of the next property No. 14. Own apartment building in the Renaissance style by architect P.S. Boytsov (1903), built > with the participation of the architect A.V. Flodin. This house is now occupied by the Consulate General of Greece. The balcony of the third floor of the building is framed with a metal lattice of classical ornament. The general symmetry of the facade with elements of architectural decoration is broken on the first floor by the entrance vestibule, a protruding corner and a faceted bay window above it. The house is decorated with a massive sculptural group: a lion defeating a dragon, as a reminder of Viennese architecture.
14. House number 16 - profitable house of P.S. Boytsova.
15. And this mansion (house number 17) is the main decoration of Spiridonovka. Fyodor Shekhtel designed a castle-style mansion for Savva Morozov and his wife. At one time, the love of Savva and Zinaida Morozov made a lot of noise in merchant Moscow. The young 18-year-old wife of Sergei Vikulovich Morozov met his uncle Savva Morozov at the ball. For her sake, Savva stepped over the customs of the Old Believers and invited Zinaida to become his wife. Relatives and the entire merchant society perceived divorce and marriage as a great shame for the family. Despite everything, in 1888 Savva and Zinaida got married and lived together for 17 years.
16. Savva Timofeevich Morozov studied at Cambridge and was a famous Angloman, so he chose the English Neo-Gothic style for his mansion. Built in 1898, the mansion was the first large-scale work of the architect Shekhtel. The money received from this order allowed him to build a mansion for himself in Ermolaevsky Lane. The construction was supervised by the architect I. S. Kuznetsov with assistants V. D. Adamovich, I. E. Bondarenko, the interiors were ordered by the artist M. A. Vrubel.
17. The new mansion was built indented from the red line, connecting it with an underpass to the outbuilding, where all the auxiliary services were located. Everything was done according to the most modern European standards. The house on Spiridonovka became the best Neo-Gothic building in Moscow. Its strict geometric volumes create an asymmetrical composition with an angular tower-like part. The mansion was badly damaged by fire in 1995, but was quickly rebuilt. Still, it is an object of cultural heritage of federal significance. Currently, it is the reception house of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
18. House number 20 corresponds to the respectable style of the street, but it seems that this is a remake.
16. At the corner of Spiridonovka and Spiridonevsky Lane there is a large gray residential building No. 24/1 of the Teplobeton Trust in the style of constructivism. This unique house was built in 1932-1934 from a rare technological novelty - thermal concrete. Currently - the Union of Designers of Russia.
17. The house is also distinguished by the presence of a bas-relief with allegorical figures and explanatory inscriptions: "Technology, art, science." There are two styles in the architecture of the house - constructivism and Stalin's Empire style. This is where the ruined church stood.
21. View towards the Garden Ring - houses number 28 and 30.
22. Tarasov House No. 30/1 was built according to the project of Ivan Vladislavovich Zholtovsky (1867-1959), a graduate of the Imperial Academy of Arts, who arrived in Moscow and had already completed several large orders in the old capital and the estates surrounding it.
This house on the corner of Spiridonovka and Bolshoi Patriarchal Lane looks somehow out of Moscow. Such an impression is created by a rough rusticated (i.e., trimmed with stripes as if under a chocolate bar) wall and bulky window frames. This house has an Italian prototype: Palazzo Thiene, built in Vicenza in the middle of the 16th century by the famous Andrea Palladio. However, Zholtovsky rethought the proportions of the building. In Palazzo Thiene, the upper floor is higher than the lower one. Zholtovsky, on the other hand, liked the ratio of floors in the Venetian Doge's Palace more: a high lower floor and a shorter upper one. At the same time, the decor of the facade migrated to Spiridonovka with virtually no changes.
23. The rich merchant Gavriil Tarasov, a native of an Armenian family, was the customer for the construction. On the facade of the house and now you can read the inscription in Latin "Gabriel Tarasov did." After the revolution, the building housed the Supreme Court, then the Polish Embassy, and since the 1960s, luxurious Italian rooms with columns, fireplaces and painted ceilings have been occupied by the African Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Tarasov House is an object of cultural heritage of federal significance.
24. Houses Nos. 34, 36, 38 - profitable houses of the beginning of the last century by famous architects. In front of the houses there is a square with pioneers. As it turned out, they appeared here not so long ago.
25. Perhaps this is one of the most respectable streets in Moscow and it is very pleasant to walk along it.
In Moscow, on Spiridonovka Street, in the old building of the White Chambers, a new cultural and exhibition center "Garnet Yard" was opened.
The pomegranate yard at the Nikitsky Gate was founded in the 16th century. Grenades were made on it - explosive artillery shells, consisting of a core filled with gunpowder. Hence the name Garnet Lane in the neighborhood.
The grenade yard was the main storage of artillery ammunition until the fire of 1712, when the cellars exploded.
In the early 1970s during the restoration work, one of the buildings of the Pomegranate Court was discovered - these same stone chambers.
The renovated Pomegranate Yard has the potential to become a large-scale art project and a venue for exhibitions.
Project author and exhibition curators
The organizers decided to open with a photo exhibition "Paparazzi Dolce Vita", which is the rarest original photographs of Hollywood stars from the legendary paparazzi Marcello Geppeti.
The global fashion for unauthorized intrusion of photographers into the privacy of stars began with "Roman Hollywood".
Marcello Geppetti stood at the origins of this trend and defined a new style of relationship between the public and the object of its adoration.
The uniqueness of the pictures is that the specialists of that time did not have photographic equipment with the possibility of approaching, they had to get close to the stars themselves.
The exhibition will go on for another 2 months, then "tour" in Riga and St. Petersburg.
Entrance ticket 350 rubles.
The organizers of the project decided to treat visitors to Italian wine and light snacks on Fridays and Saturdays in their cafe.
Italian food platter chief
They also promised to play Nino Rota's songs from famous films of the 60s and 70s as background music.
