of Moscow and was historically a spot for Western visitors of the

Napoleon and Hitler. Atop the hill is Victory Park which provides a
scenic walk and contains a memorial Mosque and Synagogue for
victims of the war and an open air museum dedicated to the victory
over Napoleon. Address: 3 Pobeda Square Telephone: 495 142 4185 Opening Time: 10am-7pm daily except Mondays and the last Tuesday of
