Minsk. The Red Courtyard (Krasny Dvorik).

The Red Courtyard in Minsk, located at Revolutsionnaya 7, is a unique place that, although not an architectural monument in the classical sense, has long been a popular attraction for creative people, photographers, guests and residents of the capital. You can get here through the cast-iron lattice gate leading to the arch, and then walk a few meters under it to find yourself in the atmospheric courtyard-well, one of the few preserved in the city. 

This place combines the spirit of antiquity and modern street art. A few years ago, the Red Courtyard became the center of creative life: live music concerts, photo exhibitions, lectures, dance parties and open-air film screenings take place here. The walls of the courtyard are decorated with graffiti, which makes it a popular venue for unusual photo shoots. 

Despite the need for renovation, the courtyard retains its cozy and colorful atmosphere. Small windows of houses, original old drains replaced with modern ones, fresh tiles underfoot and bright drawings on the walls — all this creates a unique look. However, recently the courtyard began to be repainted in pink, which caused discussions among the townspeople. The building has the status of historical and cultural value, and before the work, the owners coordinated the color of the facade with the recommendations of specialists. 

The Red courtyard, with its unusual well-shaped architecture for Minsk, has been painted red for a long time, which many associate with its address (Revolutsionnaya 7). Located in the historical center of the city, it remains a favorite place for creative youth, although many Minsk residents have not visited it yet. This place continues to attract with its mystery, mystery and unique atmosphere, combining the past and the present.
