Objects on the street

On the street there is a city oncology dispensary. In 2003 it was planned to withdraw the city oncology center from the protection zone of the Kazan Kremlin, however, due to lack of funds, the project was suspended. In 2006 there was a fire in the dispensary.

Also on the street on February 3, 2012 a multi-level parking for 170 cars is open. At the opening of the parking lot there was Mayor of Kazan I. Metshin

When constructing the parking lot in 2011, the builders discovered a treasure: the jewelry, coins and remains of Chinese silk date back to the middle - the end of the 18th century and presumably belonged to the Kazan merchant Ismagil Apanayev.
While driving along the street you can see the Kazanka, the Farmers' Palace, the Church of the Holy Martyr Paraskeva Pyatnitsa and the eastern slope of the Kazan Kremlin.
