Tretyakovsky Proyezd orTretyakov Drive (Russian:Третьяковский проезд) is a short street withboutiques and shops with manyluxury goods located inKitai-gorod in Moscow; it is known as one of the most expensive shopping areas in the world.
The mediaeval-looking archway ontoTheatre Drive was designed by architectAlexander Kaminsky (1829–1897) in 1871. The project was financed by Kaminsky's brother-in-law,Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov, who was also the founder of theTretyakov Gallery.
The Tretyakovs' frustration over a blockage onNikolskaya Street is said to have inspired them to buy the land and revive a Middle Ages thoroughfare from Nikolskaya to the Theatre Drive, across from the former Kitai-gorod wall.
