Sklifosovsky Institute buildings, Medical complex in Meshchansky District, Russia.
The Sklifosovsky Institute is a complex of several buildings with distinct architectural features from the late 18th century along Moscow's Garden Ring road. The facility combines historic structures with modern departments including emergency care and a helipad.
The complex was founded in 1792 and initially served as a poorhouse and medical facility for disadvantaged people. Over time it developed into a specialized emergency medicine center and later received federal heritage status.
The buildings show how medical care evolved in Russia, from basic assistance to modern emergency services. Visitors can see how historic spaces exist alongside contemporary medical facilities.
The site is located along the Garden Ring and is easily accessible by public transportation. Since it remains an active medical facility, access to some areas is restricted, but the exterior historic structures can be viewed from outside.
The complex serves dual roles as both an active emergency medical center and a preserved monument with unbroken operation since the 18th century. This unusual combination means it preserves history while living it every day.
