BookingSparrow hills is not only the tallest place in the city, but also the most sacred... Not a chance in the fourth century there were temples of Vyatichi and Krivichi, and Bulgakov's because we here flocked to the Sabbath. It is no coincidence that from here crept indomitable Russian thirst for knowledge. And the wise Chekhov, of course, did not accidentally say: "Who has not been here does not know Moscow."
