Kremlin Arsenal, Federal heritage landmark in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia.
The Kremlin Arsenal spans two floors in a trapezoidal shape, occupying a significant position within the northern section of the Moscow Kremlin complex.
Construction of the Arsenal began in 1701 under Peter the Great's direction, with German and Russian architects creating what became one of Moscow's largest buildings.
The Arsenal combines military functions with architectural elements of the Neoclassical period, reflecting Russian state power through its structural design and purpose.
While the building maintains its military purpose and remains closed to public access, visitors can observe historical cannons displayed along its exterior walls.
The Arsenal survived Napoleon's invasion attempt to destroy it in 1812 and underwent complete restoration between 1816 and 1828 under Neoclassical principles.
