Kuibyshev Square
Площадь Куйбышева
One of Europe's largest city squares, surrounded by Stalinist-style buildings, with a statue of Kuibyshev at its center.
Kuibyshev Square covers about 17 hectares and is often called one of Europe's largest squares. Designed in the 1930s on the model of Soviet parade grounds, it has a statue of the statesman Kuibyshev at its center. On the south side stands the Stalinist classical-style Opera and Ballet Theatre, and on the north side is a park on the former site of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The square hosts large parades and concerts during holidays, and in winter it becomes a snow and ice town. A few minutes' walk from here are the Stalin Bunker and Leningradskaya Street.
