South Of The River – one of Moscow's most ancient regions! It's an area dating back to the thirteenth century. Today there's a wealth of fascinating sights here, miraculously saved from the destruction of the 1812 Napoleonic invasion and the Russian Revolution. You'll see ancient chambers from before the time of Tsar Peter The Great, impressive mansions, ancient churches... and of course, you'll not want to miss the Tretyakov Gallery, one of Russia's greatest storehouses of art treasures. Enjoy your walk South Of The River!
