Alexander Gardens (Aleksandrovskii Sad)

Description:

• The Alexandrovskii Gardens were developed between 1820 and 1823 and run along the west wall of the Kremlin. The gardens occupy an area of about 10 hectares. In his attempt to make the gardens as distinctive as possible Bove combined an orderly plan with the free arrangement of trees plus elements of romantic-style gardens. The gardens are bordered by decorative iron railings. Muscovites and foreign tourists often come to the gardens to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
