Cathedral Square (Pushkin)

Cathedral Square in the city of Pushkin is the planning center of the northeastern part, which emerged on the site of a sloboda. Until the second decade of the 19th century, this territory remained the least developed in the new part of the city, until in the 1820s linden alleys appeared along its perimeter and intersecting paths appeared in the center, with two round pools on the eastern and western sides. In 1876, a temporary wooden bell tower was built near the main entrance to the cathedral, but in 1934 the building was demolished due to its "bulkiness". On the site of the blown-up cathedral, a monument to Lenin was installed on April 22, 1960, which was dismantled in 2004, after which another monument to the leader, transported from St. Petersburg, appeared in the square. On June 27, 2010, Patriarch Kirill consecrated the rebuilt cathedral on the square.
