Muruzi House, Neo-Moorish building in Liteyny District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Muruzi House features decorative towers, bay windows, balconies, terracotta columns, and Arabic script on the exterior of its five-story structure.

Built between 1874 and 1876 by architect Alexey Serebryakov for Prince Alexander Muruzi, the building reflects the architectural preferences of late 19th century nobility.

The building housed many Russian writers, including Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky who lived there from 1955 until his exile in 1972.

Located at 24 Liteiny Prospekt near Chernyshevskaya metro station, visitors can observe the building's exterior and its restored Neo-Mudéjar architectural elements.

The interior includes five grand staircases and a central hall designed to resemble an Alhambra palace courtyard, with mirrors and marble statues.
