Tverskaya Street in Moscow is considered one of the oldest streets. historians say, that even in 12 century there was a road to Tver. It is known, what in 15 century, this road connects Moscow not only with Tver, but all Novgorod and the north-western regions of Russia. At the site of Tver in those days there Sloboda, which settled natives of the Tver and Novgorod.
Beginning with 16 century the street was extended to the rampart, and from that time on Tverskaya Street began to settle and build the representatives of Moscow's best delivery.

Photos of Tverskaya Street made since the advent of digital cameras. On the Internet you can find a lot of old photos Tver and it's really interesting. The truth is that time of night photos you will not find, and understandably so - machinery in those days was not so perfect. Tverskaya night is beautiful, as befits the main street of the capital. From the Kremlin to the Triumphal Square a short distance, but the whole street attractions solid, on which you can learn the history of Moscow, and night lighting makes the home and the street itself an excellent subject for a photo, illustrating Moscow.
At all, today it is accepted for Moscow to use illustrations, several objects - Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, Christ the Savior Cathedral, MSU and Moscow-City. The streets are generally, Tverskaya and in particular once used less, in my opinion, not deserved, and Tverskaya Street, especially the night is not less beautiful object illustration.
