Moskovsky railway station, Railway station building in Tsentralny District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Moskovsky railway station presents Neoclassical architecture with Corinthian columns, large Venetian windows, and a prominent two-level clock tower on the facade.
Completed in 1851 as Nicholaevsky station under Tsar Nicholas I, the terminal marked the establishment of the Saint Petersburg-Moscow railway connection.
The station houses a bronze bust of Peter the Great, installed in 1993, representing the transition from Soviet times when a Lenin sculpture occupied the space.
The station connects to Ploshchad Vosstaniya and Mayakovskaya metro stations through underground passages and operates seven platforms for multiple train services.
The station remains the oldest preserved railway terminal in Saint Petersburg, maintaining its original facade design by architect Konstantin Thon from 1851.
