is located near Kitay Gorod Metro Station. At the bottom end of the park is a monument to Saints Cyril and Methodius who were Christian missionaries from Byzantium who came to Russia to preach Christ. They created the Cyrillic alphabet and translated the Bible from Greek. Evidently, the statue has several spelling errors in the plaques. At the top end of the park is The Plevna Chapel which is a monument to the Russian Grenadiers who died during the Siege of Plevna during the Russo - Turkish War of 1877-1878. The chapel is made of iron and the inside has been restored into a tiny chapel with beautiful icons, in lovely shades of blue.
