The history of Serpukhovskaya ulitsa, as well as the area around it, is closely connected with the history of the Semenovsky Regiment. Before being transferred to barracks in the early 19th century the soldiers of the twelve companies of the Semenovsky Regiment quartered in St. Petersburg were each occupying a street. This street was once the first in the regiment’s quarter and was called the 1st Company of the Semenovsky Regiment. The name originated in the second half of the 18th century and remained until 1849, when tenement buildings started appearing in this street.
In the late 18th century two names were still used concurrently, viz. “12-ya ulitsa” (12th Street), because sometimes the driveways in the regiment’s quarter were numbered in reverse order, and “Dmitrov pereulok” (Dmitrov Lane), by the name of the landlord Dmitriev.
The year 1821 saw the appearance of the name “1-ya liniya” (1st Line) which gradually replacing the previous one completely.
On 9 December, 1857, many streets in Moskovskaya quarter were named after the towns of Moscow Province. As a result, the 1st Line was renamed after Serpukhov.

Prince Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration, a descendant of the Georgian royal dynasty of Bagrationi, was born in 1765.
At the age of seventeen he entered military service in 1782, and in 1787-1791 Bagration took part in the Russo-Turkish war and later, in 1793-1794, in the Polish campaign.
The Price’s military merit did not go unnoticed: during Suvorov’s Italian and Swiss campaigns in 1799 he commanded the Russian army vanguard.
In the wars with France of 1805 and 1806-1807 he commanded the rearguard. Bagration also distinguished himself in the battles at Schöngrabern (1805), Austerlitz (1805), Preußisch Eylau (1807) and Friedland (1807).
In addition, he defeated the Swedes several times during the Russo-Swedish war of 1808-1809. At the same time, during the Russo-Turkish war of 1806-1812 he managed to become Commander-in-Chief of the Moldovan Army (1809-1810), and the Commander of Podolsk (2nd Western) Army since 1811.
With the beginning of the 1812 Patriotic War Bagration opposed the decision of drawing Russian armies off from Smolensk. In the course of the battle of Borodino he led the left wing which was hit by the first enemy’s attack. During the battle, the Prince was mortally wounded. He died on 12 September, 1812, wishing to serve his motherland till the very end.

In the 1880’s a hippodrome was built on the territory of Semenovsky parade ground (present-day Pioneskaya ploshchad) to the project by Leonty Benois. The first races were held here during the winter of 1880-1881. All hippodrome buildings were temporary at first, but Benois gradually made the complex look more fundamental. The architect designed spectators’ stands with tent-roofed towers around the field. The races were held here on Sundays. In 1893 the hippodrome hosted one of the first football matches in St. Petersburg.
In the 1890’s the ground between the hippodrome and the railroad became a place for public festivities.
By the early 20th century the parade ground territory began to diminish. A military compound was built between the railroad and the modern Podyezdnoy pereulok. It housed the first railway battalion (protecting the road), an automobile company and a military driving school. The automobile company is known to have been the place where Vladimir Mayakovsky served during his time in the army.
Semyonovsky hippodrome continued to operate until the Great Patriotic War. It was destroyed during the Siege of Leningrad. In the 1950’s ulitsa Marata was extended to Podyezdnoy pereulok across the parade ground. New buildings were built at their intersection. The year 1959 saw opening of a monument to A.S. Griboyedov by the sculptor V.V. Lishev. In 1962 the middle of the parade ground was occupied by the Bryantsev Youth Theatre. At the same time this place acquired a new name Pionerskaya ploshchad (“Pioneer Square”) in honour of the 40th anniversary of the Pioneer Organisation.

The first church of the Procession of the Venerable Wood of the Life-Creating Cross of the Lord was wooden. Having been bought as a completed building on Vyborgskaya Side it was consecrated on 18 July, 1753 at the new location. Two days later, on 20 July, the foundation stone of the Assumption Church was laid here with the help of the funds provided by the tax farmer Savva Yakovlev.
The construction was carried out under the leadership of the famous architect A.V. Kvasov, although some authors suggest the possible involvement of F.B. Rastrelli. Externally, the Saviour Church on Sennaya ploshchad was completed in 1762, the year when Empress Catherine II ascended to the throne.
During the 19th century, the church was reconstructed several times. In 1816-1817 the architect L. Rusca designed partial modifications to the building by connecting together the winter and summertime churches. In 1833-1835 the Saviour Church was expanded to the design of the architect A.I. Melnikov. This included reconstruction of the domes and vaults. In 1867-1871, the Saviour Church on Sennaya ploshchad was rebuilt once again to the project of St. Petersburg diocesan architect G.I. Karpov. He also started redoing the top of the church and the belfry: the wooden structures were replaced by brick, the dome shape was slightly modified and the porticos were altered. The reconstruction of 1867-1871 was the last one, after that the church remained intact, retaining its appearance until the 1960’s. The church was not only an architectural dominant of Sennaya ploshchad. At that time the square was the first place in the city travellers saw coming from the Moscow Road, the first main "gateway" to St. Petersburg. Moreover, this administrative district of St. Petersburg up until 1917 bore the name "Spasskaya quarter".
After the revolution all the valuable objects in the church were removed, and in April 1938 it was closed and deprived of the security detail. The church on Sennaya ploshchad was blown up in 1961 to clear the space for the Ploshchad Mira (“Peace Square”) metro station.

The Military Medical Museum is located on the territory of Semenovskaya quarter and in the buildings of the former Semenovsky Life-Guards Regiment and Alexander's Hospital, one of the best medical institutions of the 19th century.
The building was built in 1799 by the architect F.I. Demertsov with the funds donated by the royal heir, the future Emperor Alexander I, and redesigned specifically for the museum in 1944-1945.
The Military Medical Museum is the successor to the first medical museums of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. It dates back to the medical exhibits brought to Russia by Peter the Great, to collections of instruments from the Craftsmen's Hut founded in 1721 on Aptekarsky Island, to the Surgical, Pirogov and the Army Medical museums, the Museum of the Red Army's Medical Service and others.
The exposition is opened in two galleries, viz. "The Origins of the Russian Medicine", "The Medicine of the 20th-21st Centuries” in 13 halls.
The museum's collections include items from the 18th-20th centuries, millions of medical records and personnel data cards for the troops that took part in the Great Patriotic War. The museum exposition devoted to the history of the military medicine, is unique.
On 10 December, 2001 the Semenovsky Life-Guards Regiment was commemorated by consecration of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary Chapel in the museum building. The icons and churchware in the chapel look exactly those the ones that were kept in the regiment’s Presentation Church located opposite the hospital.

The theatre building on ul. Rubinshteyna, 18 was built in 1911 (architect V.V. Fondeyzen). In 1911-1920 it housed the Troitsky Theatre of Miniatures, similar in spirit to the French cabaret. The founder and the first director of the theatre was A.M. Fokin, brother of the great choreographer who was a merchant and owned a shop selling bicycles and automobiles. The art directors and producers at the Troitsky Theatre of Miniatures changed frequently, but its repertoire always included one-act comedies, skits, harlequinades, and sketches. The theatre was brave enough to advertise the works of Chekhov, ballet numbers and satirical verses on one poster, invited famous writers and poets to cooperate with it. The building on Troitskaya ulitsa changed names, owners and had no permanent company.

The history of Pushkinskaya 10 Art Centre began in 1989 with the emergence of a squat of independent painters, musicians and other underground artists in a rehoused building in Pushkinskaya ulitsa.
Members of an alternative creative union, the Association of Experimental Fine Arts spontaneously created an independent culture centre that later got institutionalised in the form a Contemporary Arts Centre.
Having inherited the cultural traditions of the old Petersburg, in 1998 the Association established the first Russian Museum of Nonconformist Art in the house in Pushkinskaya ulitsa. The museum houses a unique collection of "unofficial" art of the second half of the 20th century. The museum also contains the St. Petersburg archive and a library of independent art; a part of its premises is allocated to the "Bridge over the Styx" gallery opened in collaboration with the State Russian Museum and is an insight into the modern history of Russia in contemporary art.

Panina’s People’s House or Ligovsky People’s House was built in 1901-1904 with the help of the funds provided by Countess Sofia Panina. She was an honourary member of the Russian Astronomical Society. The building was commissioned to the architect Yu.Yu. Benois.
The People's House is a cultural and educational institution organised in the form of a club. In addition to educational and club premises the main building also housed a legal clinic, a savings bank, and the first people's observatory in St. Petersburg.
In 1937 the observatory ceased its operation, opening again only in 1971.
After the revolution, in the early 20’s K. Chukovsky and professor Evgenyev-Maksimov used the building to organise here the Nekrasov Educational House modelled after the Pushkin House. In 1926 the building was handed over to the railroad administration.

Since mid-18th century this area had an aqueduct bridge bringing water from the Ligovsky Canal to the fountains of Tauride and Summer Gardens. The wooden structure was named Yamskoy Water-Supply Bridge after the nearby Yamskaya quarter.
In the middle of the 19th century was it reconstructed and the new aqueduct bridge was called Novo-Kamenny, as it was built out of granite and brick. The bridge had four granite staircases leading to it from to the canal.
Up until the end of the 19th century the bridge was reconstructed three times, getting rid of the pipeline only in 1891. By the mid-20th century the old bridge could no longer cope with the traffic and it was decided to replace it with a transport interchange at the intersection of the Obvodny Canal and Ligovsky prospekt.
The bridge was widened to accommodate the tram tracks in its middle, a tunnel was laid under Ligovsky prospekt, and the granite-clad embankment got its second level.
