ARBAT STREET
Street in the Central Administrative District of Moscow
Arbat Street expands from Arbat Gate Square to Smolenskaia Square. Named after the old suburb “Arbat”, this street became a hub of Russian society. A fire in 1736 allowed for Arbat to be rebuilt and developed, making it a destination for Russian aristocratic families to settle. Originally the street was comprised of family homes, all equipped with a unique feature: mezzanines. In 1806, the first theater was built, and soon following Arbat flourished with hotels, shops, and multi-story apartment buildings.
