Средний город, Medieval fortification in Pskov, Russia.

Sredny Gorod is the 14th-century southern extension of the Pskov fortress, bounded by the Dovmont City wall to the north and the 1375 wall to the south. That wall ran from the Mstislavskaya Tower on the Velikaya to the Pskova, along today's Pushkin Street. Only the Mstislavskaya Tower and a stretch of wall beside it survive, plus a ruined section near the Central Market.

The first expansion of the Pskov fortress beyond the Krom and Dovmont city came with posadnik Boris's wall of 1309, which ran along today's Profsoyuznaya Street. In 1374–1375 a fourth stone wall was built farther south, giving the district its name; its total length exceeded 1.5 km. In 1394 Novgorod troops besieged Pskov from this side for eight days but withdrew at night in disgrace.

The name Zastenye, used before Sredny Gorod, referred to the area behind the wall of posadnik Boris of 1309, which ran along today's Profsoyuznaya Street. Of the ten towers of the 1374–1375 wall, only the Mstislavskaya Tower survives, first a wooden Burkovy kostyor and later the stone Kislinskaya Tower, named after Kislinsky Lane by the Velikaya. The wall's line is still legible in Pushkin Street, formerly Sadovaya.

Of the ten towers of the 1374–1375 wall, only the Mstislavskaya Tower survives, at the Velikaya River end; a fragment of wall runs from it toward the Vlasievskaya Tower. On the east side, a ruined section stands between the Central Market and the Yamskoy chambers on Krasnykh Partizan Street. The line of the wall follows present-day Pushkin Street.

Of the ten towers of the 1374–1375 wall, only the Mstislavskaya Tower survives, at the Velikaya riverbank by the Church of the Odigitria. It began as a wooden Burkovy kostyor and was later rebuilt in stone as the Kislinskaya Tower, after the Kislinsky Lane that once ran here. A ruined stretch of the wall also remains between the Central Market and the Yamskoy chambers on Krasnykh Partizan Street.
