Metallistov Street

Metallistov Street is a thoroughfare through central Tula lined with buildings displaying traditional Russian architectural elements. It connects shops, cafes, and museums while serving as a walkable route to key city attractions.

The street was originally called Pyatnitskaya after a nearby church before being renamed in 1924 to reflect a metal processing company located there. This change marked the city's growing industrial identity.

The street hosts multiple museums including branches dedicated to Kulikovo Field, Yasnaya Polyana, weapons, and local history. These institutions give the street its role as a center for understanding Tula's past and culture.

The street is a pedestrian-friendly area well connected to public transportation and main city attractions. Walking here during daytime makes it easier to see the buildings and find museum entrances without difficulty.

Several merchant mansions line the street, including the home of Mikhail Belolipetskiy who founded the Tula Gingerbread Factory. These private residences display late classical architectural features that still stand out along the street.
