City Garden

🌿 Public garden or park • 📜 Historic site

Description

The City Garden has gone by many names: the City Garden, the Public Garden, and the Znamensky Garden. But today everyone simply calls it the Gorsad.

Historical Background

The City Garden came about as part of the rebuilding of the city after the fire of 1763. By 1780 a formal Palace Garden had been laid out on the grounds adjoining the palace. In the mid-19th century the governor of Tver ordered it to be landscaped. All the neighboring streets and embankments were paved with cobblestones, and more than 2,500 saplings of poplar, birch, chestnut, maple, English rowan, and much else were planted in the garden.

Fun Fact

The City Garden lies on the site of the destroyed Tver kremlin.
