Pashkov House, Classical architectural landmark in Arbat District, Russia
The three-volume building features a central unit with two lateral wings, enhanced by a symmetrical composition on Vagankovsky Hill.
Built between 1784 and 1786 for Captain Pyotr Pashkov, the residence became part of the Russian State Library in the 20th century.
The building holds numerous manuscripts and rare books in its collection, serving as a center for research and academic studies.
Visitors can access the building through Vozdvizhenka Street, with guided tours available during regular opening hours from Tuesday to Saturday.
Underground passages beneath the building might connect to the Kremlin, leading some researchers to suggest links to Ivan the Terrible's library.
