Along the way, your guide will highlight the masterpieces of Mikhail Eisenstein on Alberta Street, where facades feature lions, gargoyles, sphinxes, birds, and elegant ladies adorned with flowers. Each building tells its own story in stone, and your guide will explain the meaning behind these symbols and details.
