Историческая справка

A pedestrian and trading bridge over the Moscow river is a part of the unified architectural ensemble of Moscow City. The bridge was named after the prince Pyotr Bagration, a commander in the Patriotic War of 1812, who died of a wound he got on Borodinskoye field. The bridge was opened in September 1997 to celebrate Moscow’s 850th anniversary. The bridge consists of two levels: the lower is a glass indoor gallery, the upper has an observation deck with a picturesque view on the river, skyscrapers and the city’s centre. A remarkable sight on the bridge is a sculpture “The Tree of Life” made by Ernst Neizvestniy. As the author confessed, this sculpture is the most important of his creative works. Under the giant tree branches made of bronze and granite we see portraits of hundreds of most important historical personalities, from Adam and Eve to Yuriy Gagarin.
