About the Web Camera on Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane

This online camera broadcasts a bird's-eye view of a construction site in the very heart of Moscow — at Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane, 11. The live broadcast allows you to monitor the construction progress of a new residential complex in real time. The camera operates around the clock, and you can watch the online broadcast for free and without registration.

What Is Being Built on the Site

On the site of a former historic quarter, the Palashevsky 11 residential complex is being erected — a project that has sparked widespread public debate. The complex is designed with three different facades intended to blend organically into the historic architecture of Patriarch's Ponds. The project includes an inner courtyard garden with a pond — a rare feature for central Moscow.

The backstory of this site is dramatic: in 2019, the demolition of six historic mansions located on this site began. This sparked protests from local residents and heritage conservation advocates, but construction continued.

History of Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane

Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane is one of the quiet streets of old Moscow, located in the Patriarch's Ponds area. The lane's name derives from the surname of the landowner Palash (Palashevsky), who owned these lands in the 18th century. Since then, the lane has preserved its layout and atmosphere of the old city, although individual buildings have been rebuilt several times.

The architectural gem of the lane is considered to be the "castle-house" of journalist Victor Louis — an Art Nouveau rental house regarded as one of the most beautiful rental houses near Patriarch's Ponds. This building, with its characteristic Art Nouveau flowing lines and decorative elements, still adorns the lane.

House No. 5/1 was once home to Alexander Sumbatov-Yushin, director of the Maly Theatre, adding to the lane's cultural significance in Moscow's theatrical history.

Location and Surroundings

Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane sits on the border of two prestigious Moscow districts. According to the administrative division, it belongs to the Presnensky District, which combines the historic architecture of the city center with the modern business cluster of Moscow City. Its closest neighbor is the Tverskoy District, one of the most prestigious areas in the city center.

Several notable landmarks are located near the camera: Maly Palashevsky Lane, Tverskaya Street, and Tverskoy Boulevard. Patriarch's Ponds — one of Moscow's most famous parks and the setting of Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita — is within walking distance.

How to Get to Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane

You can reach the location broadcast by the web camera by metro. The nearest stations are Tverskaya (Zamoskvoretskaya Line), Pushkinskaya (Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line), and Mayakovskaya (Zamoskvoretskaya Line). From any of them, it's about a 10–15 minute walk through the quiet lanes of old Moscow to Bolshoy Palashevsky Lane.

If you're already in the city center, you can walk from Tverskaya Square or Patriarch's Ponds. The lane is easy to find by orienting yourself toward Maly Palashevsky Lane — they are parallel to each other and connected by several passages.
