Een stukje geschiedenis
Gostiny Dvor was built between 1805 and 1810 to replace a medieval market, designed by architect Giacomo Quarenghi. It served as a major trading center for merchants and remained a commercial hub through the Soviet era. The building underwent extensive restoration in the 1990s.
