Fish Lane

Фото 1
Fish Lane is a small street in Moscow, located in Kitai-Gorod between Ilyinka and Varvarka. Since September 2017, it has become pedestrian.

In the 17th century, the lane was called Vvedensky in honor of the Church of the Introduction of the Most Holy Mother of God of the Golden Domes, which was located here. In the 18th century, it was renamed Magistratsky due to the presence of the Main Magistrate here. The modern name of the lane was given because of the fish market that existed here in the 18th and early 19th centuries. After the construction of the Old (1791, 1805; 1825, 1830, designed by J. Quarenghi) and New (1838, 1840) Trading Rows, the lane became a passage between their long facades.
