Sretensky Boulevard, Regional cultural heritage boulevard in Krasnoselsky District, Russia
Sretensky Boulevard is a 214-meter street in central Moscow that forms part of the Boulevard Ring connecting two major squares. The street is lined with buildings of varying heights and architectural styles that define its visual character.
The street occupies the location where the White City walls once stood before their demolition in the 1780s, with the slope still showing traces of the old fortification. This position on a former defensive ring continues to shape the area's topography today.
The street takes its name from the historic Sretensky Gate and displays architectural styles spanning different periods that shape its character. Walking through, you can observe how building designs reflect different eras and how the street serves as an open museum of Moscow's changing aesthetic preferences.
Three nearby metro stations provide convenient access from different directions: Turgenevskaya, Chistye Prudy, and Sretensky Boulevard. The short length makes it easy to walk and ideal for a quick stroll between the two squares it connects.
The Museum of Oil opened in 2021 at building number 11, showcasing exhibitions about the Russian oil industry across approximately 700 square meters. This specialized museum attracts visitors interested in Russian industrial and economic history.
