Kirov Avenue

Kirov Avenue is one of the main streets in the central part of Pyatigorsk, which in the 19th century was formed from the Main Boulevard and Tsar's Street. In 1828, the first promenade alley with linden trees was laid here, turning the street into a shady boulevard that became the main place for evening walks of resort visitors. In 1903, a tram line was laid along the avenue, connecting the railway station with the therapeutic baths, and the street received its current name in 1952 in honor of Sergei Mironovich Kirov.
