Sofia Boulevard

Sofiysky Boulevard in Pushkin runs from Sadovaya Street and Pavlovsk Highway to the Railway Station Square, crossing Sovetsky and Moskovsky lanes, Moskovskoye Highway, Glinka Street, Oktyabrsky Boulevard, and Novoderevenskaya Street. It stretches through the Moscow Gates and Kolonistsky Pond, ending near the "Detskoye Selo" station, and continues as Parkovaya Street to the southwest. The boulevard features historical buildings of the palace hospital: the 1914 officers' infirmary designed by architect S. A. Danini and the pharmacy from 1844–1849, which was rebuilt in 1890–1892. The two-story pavilions of the Moscow Gates are connected by a cast-iron railing on a granite plinth, and the figures of eagles and crowns, destroyed after the 1917 revolution, were restored during a major renovation in 1948.
