In 2012, Yekaterinburg hosted Stenograffia art festival that gathered best graffiti artists of Russia in one place. The city changed drastically during this amazing event, and walls of many old houses were decorated with stylish abstract drawings. One of the most unusual graffitis can be found on the street of Malyshev Street . Just find the building 140 and you will see it. This street is located not far from Komsomolskaya metro station, so even inexperienced tourists will have no difficulty finding it.
Do you like exploring little-known landmarks? Then do not hurry to leave picturesque Malysheva Street and take a stroll until the bank of the Iset River. This is the location of one of the least discovered landmarks of the city, namely, Chuvildina House . This is a gorgeous mansion made of red brick that was built near the riverside at the beginning of the 20th century. Initially, it was a property of merchant Chuvildin. After the Soviet revolution, several communal flats were opened in the building. Decades after, the unique architecture landmark became abandoned.
