Around the Old Arbat
St Simeon the Stylite's Church on Povarskaya
On the intersection of Ulitsa Povarskaya and Ulitsa Novy Arbat stands St Simeon the Stylite's Church which was built between 1676 and 1679 on the orders of Tsar Feodor III. The church is an example of the style known as Russian Uzorochye which is evident by the ornate kokoshniks under the domes and the elaborate decorations on the bell tower and the window frames.
