This category collects articles about the historic places, streets, squares and buildings of Nizhny Novgorod that have preserved or lost their pre-revolutionary appearance. Toponymy, the old names of city blocks and bodies of water, and the fate of specific buildings — all of this makes up what locals call "Old Nizhny."
For the city this theme is especially significant: the historic center is densely built up and holds layers from different eras, and many names have changed several times over. Among the category's key subjects are the The Kremlin, the Skoba trading quarter on Rozhdestvenskaya Street, the pedestrian Bolshaya Pokrovskaya, and Cherny Prud ("Black Pond") — one of the city's oldest public gardens.
