Lunins' House, Manor house in Presnensky District, Russia
The three-story residence features symmetrical wings connected to the main building by ceremonial corridors, forming two enclosed courtyards with classical elements.
Architect Domenico Gilardi designed this grand estate in 1801 for the noble Lunin family, who later sold it to the Commercial Bank in 1821.
The mansion's facade displays thirty-two images from Greek mythology, including a lyre, dedicated to opera singer Ekaterina Ricci, daughter of Pyotr Lunin.
Since 1970, the building functions as the State Museum of Oriental Art, allowing visitors to explore both architectural heritage and cultural exhibitions.
The building survived the great fire of 1812 and underwent reconstruction, becoming a model for post-fire Moscow architecture standards.
