In winter when there are no leaves on the trees the houses look modest.
The house at the south-western corner of the street and Svobody Square saw both World Wars.
The bath-house on the western side between Budyonny Str. and Dzerzhynsky Str. is the best meeting place for the lovers of the Russian steam house. The word "laznya" means bath-house in Byelorussian.
This charming smiling guy with a bath broom made out of concrete invites to the bath-house.
Two mushrooms in the street near the bath-house
Most houses on the eastern side of the street between Budyonny Str. and Dzerzhynsky Str. more or less survived during both World Wars.
The Old City features nice arches, this one in the street leads into the tiny backyard.
That building was constructed in the early 1900s to house a commercial bank.
The former building of the Brest archives.
The monument to the Belarusian martyr Afanasy Brestsky was unveiled in October 2005 at the corner of Masherov Avenue, opposite the Intourist Hotel.
Today's synagogue and mikva after the reconstruction.
