LA PLACE DU MANEGE A MOSCOU

Cette place a été construite sur les ruines d'un vieux quartier incendié en 1812. Elle jouxte le Kremlin. Un grand magasin a été aménagé en sous-sol en 1990. Ici on voit une partie de la rivière La Neglinnaïa qui est un affluent de la Moscova. Des jardins et des sculptures font la joie des promeneurs à la belle saison.

MANEGE SQUARE
During the 1990s, the Moscow mayor Yuriy Luzhkov had the square closed to traffic and substantially renovated. The centrepiece of the renovated square is a modern trade centre, with four underground storeys and parking lot capped with a glass cupola symbolizing the Northern hemisphere. Another innovation is the feign river-bed of the Neglinnaya River, which has become a popular attraction for the Muscovites and tourists alike, especially on sultry days of summer. The river's course is imitated by a rivulet dotted with fountains and statues of Russian fairy-tale characters, as sculpted by Zurab Tsereteli. Wikipedia
