Information for fans of the movie "Night Watch": it was on the "Devil's Bridge" that the epic scene of the battle between the forces of Good and Evil was shot.
The Pushkin Museum
More than 20 times Pushkin visited Torzhok. It is not surprising that a museum dedicated to the Russian poet was opened in this city. For a long time Alexander Sergeevich did not stay here - he waited until they changed horses, ate cutlets, wrote verses in parallel. Surely someone from the local residents defended his thesis about the influence of Torzhok on Pushkin's work.
The local museum is rather a presentation of the poet about Russia. His meetings with different people, the various things he took on the road, portraits, icons, drawings and much more.
