Square Volkova

  Square Volkova sits prominently in the historic heart of Yaroslavl, adjacent to the picturesque Volga River. Established in the late 19th century, this square often serves as a gathering point for locals and visitors alike. Its main feature is the striking monument dedicated to the poet and playwright Alexander Pushkin, which adds cultural depth to the area. In late spring, particularly in May, the square becomes a vibrant hub for nearby festivals and outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, connect with local vendors, or simply relax on the benches while taking in the lively atmosphere.
