Basmanny Hospital is a medical complex in Basmanny District comprising multiple structures arranged in classical style around inner courtyards. The facility contains various departments and buildings designed to serve both patient care and medical training purposes.
Founded in 1790, the hospital became one of Moscow's leading medical institutions through the 1800s. It grew in importance during major periods of Russian history and served as a center for advancing medical knowledge and practices.
The hospital's layout and architectural style reflect how Russian medical education and patient care evolved together over time. The way buildings connect and open onto courtyards shows the practical needs of both training doctors and treating the sick.
