Arbat (also commonly known as Old Arbat) is a street in the Central Administrative District of Moscow. It runs from Arbat Gate Square to Smolenskaya Square. The street got its name from a suburb called Orbat (Arbat), which lay to the west of the Kremlin. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Arbat referred to a vast area located between what are now Znamenka and Bolshaya Nikitskaya streets, while the main street of the district was Vozdvizhenka, which was primarily known as "Arbat."
