Central Square (Tolyatti)

The entirety, which includes large stretches of bare asphalt and random structures, does not necessarily present a pleasing aspect or sense of unified design.

[1][4] (This is not to be confused with Tolyatti City Hall, the administrative center, which is three-quarters of a mile (1.2. kilometers) northwest, at Liberty Square.)

In Soviet times this building housed the City Committee of the Communist Party.

[5] The neo-classical building[5] was constructed in 1976 in Soviet times; after various interim forms, the institution was converted in 2004 to an open joint-stock company.

The Palace also hosts vocal, dance and acting workshops for children;[6] other child or family centered activities are a bowling alley, laser tag arena, and the Emerald City, a large indoor children's space featuring a carousel, giant bubble maker, slides and other play structures, and other attractions.
