Suvorov Square is a popular place among residents and guests of Moscow. It is home to numerous architectural monuments from different eras. Until the 15th century, the Naprudnaya River, also known as Samoteka or Sinichka, flowed here, which merged into the Neglinnaya River near the modern Samotecnaya Square. In the 1920s-1930s, the river was enclosed in a pipe, and a park was created in its place.

The historical development of the square began in 1758 with the construction of the estate of Vladimir Semyonovich Saltykov. The design of the estate house in the mature baroque style was developed by the chief architect of Moscow, Prince Dmitry Vasilyevich Ukhtomsky. The estate also featured a fruit garden and greenhouses.

In 1777, the state treasury purchased the estate from the son of Alexei Vladimirovich to create a home for the needy former officers of the Russian army. In 1803, by order of Emperor Alexander I, the Institute of Noble Maidens was opened here, named the "School of the Order of Saint Catherine," later known as the Catherine Institute. The project for the reconstruction of the buildings was entrusted to architect Ivan Dementyevich Zhilyardi, and later to his son Domenico Ivanovich Zhilyardi, who expanded the mansion and decorated the facade in the Empire style. The building was adorned with a ten-column portico of the Tuscan order.

In 1826-1827, Domenico Zhilyardi and Afanasy Grigoryev added side wings, giving the building a U-shape and arranging the interior space in front of the mansion, enclosed by a beautiful fence with gates.

After the revolution, the square ceased to be called Catherine Square and was named Commune Square from 1932 to 1934. In 1928, the Central House of the Red Army was located in the building of the Catherine Institute. From 1918 to 1928, the building was reconstructed according to the project of architect S.A. Toropov, including the construction of a grand staircase. In 1960, a bust of M.V. Frunze by sculptor E.V. Vuchetich was installed in front of the building, and in 1982, a monument to A.V. Suvorov, created by sculptor O.K. Komov and architect V.A. Nesterov, appeared in the center of the square. The square was named Suvorov Square in 1994 in honor of the great commander.

Currently, the main building houses the Cultural Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation named after M.V. Frunze. On the opposite side, the Catherine Park with a pond adjoins the building, where there is a two-story wing in the Empire style. The facade of the wing is decorated with rusticated stone, and the windows are topped with wedge-shaped stones.

In 2014, a scientific restoration was carried out, including the repair of the facade of the central building, restoration of historical connections, preservation of some structures, and reclamation of landscaping considering the historical structure of the park.
