Akhmatova's House 'Fountain House'

This is where Akhmatova lived from the 1920s to the 1950s, and it was also the home of her lover Punin. Here, she wrote the famous poetry collections 'Requiem' and 'Poem Without a Hero'. However, it would be more accurate to say that 'Requiem' was memorized by her friends after she created it, rather than written down. At that time, her ex-husband had been executed and her son was exiled, filling her with fear and preventing her from writing it down. The red sofa in the photo is where she lay to read and conceive her works. Tickets: 400 rubles Audio guide: Available in English, not in Chinese Hours: 10:30-18:00
