Starye Polya
Lonely Planet review for Starye Polya
Along Teatralny proezd, archaeologists uncovered the 16th-century fortified wall that used to surround Kitay Gorod, as well as the foundations of the 1493 Trinity Church. Coins, jewellery and tombstones were also excavated here. Besides the remains of the wall and the church, you can now see a statue of Ivan Fyodorov, the 16th-century printer responsible for Russia’s first book.
