Sparrow Hills Sanctuary, Protected natural area at Moskva River bank, Moscow, Russia
The protected hills rise 80 meters above the Moskva River, containing dense forest areas, natural springs, and deep ravines in southwestern Moscow.
The medieval village of Vorobyovo became a royal estate when the Grand Duke of Moscow purchased the territory in the mid-1450s.
The Trinity Church remains the last structure from the original Vorobyovo village, maintaining continuous religious services since its construction.
Visitors access the observation platform through Vorobyovy Gory metro station, located on the lower level of the Luzhniki Metro Bridge.
The natural sanctuary occupies the highest elevation in Moscow at 220 meters above sea level, offering views of central districts.
