Vul Gogolya
While building buffs are liable to find unheralded architectural gems along any street in the centre, the mother lode is on vul Gogolya, where the city's best 19th-century architects were apparently in a contest to create the city's most elaborate buildings. With its odd patterns, bright colours and eccentric balconies, No 14 is probably the most eye-catching, followed by No 6, where a row of gods supports the 2nd-floor balcony.
The street's namesake, Nikolai Gogol, lived at No 11 for several months in the 1850s - just one of several prominent names to have had an address here.
