Sightseeing
Dom Pechati
Based on the architect’s initial vision, the building resembles an open book: best seen when looking at it from the intersection of Bauman and Kavi Najmi Streets. A semicircular vertical ledge right in the middle divides the building in two. The passage down the middle will take you to the to Profsoyuznaya Street, which lies parallel to Bauman Street. During the Soviet era, the first floor of Dom Pechati (Press House) housed Tatizdat bookstores. Today, the building is occupied by Hotel Nogai and several restaurants.
