Kremlin Hill

The Red Square and the upland part of the Kitai-gorod are located on the hill.

The Borovitskiy Hill derives its name from the Russian word "бор" (bor) – "pinery".

The hill was named so because in ancient times the left bank of the Moscow River was covered with pine forest.

Archeologists date the first data on stay of a human being on the Borovitsky hill by the end of the 2nd millennium BC[1].

Several gardens have been laid out, some of which belonged to Metropolitan Alexius and Ivan the Terrible.
