Sparrow Hills, Elevated park district in Moscow, Russia
Sparrow Hills stands on the right bank of the Moskva River, reaching 85 meters above water level with dense forest coverage and deep ravines.
The area originated from a 14th-century village called Vorobyovo, which was sold to the Grand Duke of Moscow during the mid-1450s for royal estates.
Moscow State University main building dominates the hilltop since 1953, representing one of the Seven Sisters buildings constructed during the Stalinist period.
The observation platform offers views of central Moscow landmarks including Luzhniki Stadium, Novodevichy Convent, Kremlin churches, and Moscow City business district.
The Church of the Trinity remains the single structure from the original Vorobyovo village, maintaining continuous operation through Napoleon's invasion and Soviet times.

Moscow offers photographers numerous subjects: Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colored domes, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Kremlin and modern art galleries. The city combines historical architecture, parks, museums and contemporary buildings. From Stalin's skyscrapers to Zaryadye Park with its floating bridge, Moscow presents itself as a metropolis of contrasts.
