Pokrovsky Boulevard is a boulevard in the Basmanny District of the Central Administrative District of Moscow.
It was named after Pokrovka Street and the Pokrovsky Gates of the White City—part of a Boulevard ring.
It runs from Khokhlovsky Square (Khokhlovsky Lane) in the north to Vorontsovo Pole Street (Yauzsky Boulevard) in the south. The numbering of houses is carried out from Pokrovsky Gate Square, capturing houses on the outer sides of Khokhlovskaya Square.
Alleys overlook the boulevard: from the inside – Khokhlovsky, Bolshoy Tryokhsvyatitelsky, Maly Tryokhsvyatitelsky, Podkolokolny; from the outside – Barracks and Durasovsky. A tram line is laid along the boulevard, used by routes A, 3, 39.
