North River Terminal, Passenger ship terminal in Levoberezhny District, Moscow, Russia.
Description
The North River Terminal is a passenger facility on the Moskva River bank, distinguished by its monumental architecture and a prominent spire. It features multiple piers for river ships and serves as a departure point for cruises and regional connections.
History
The terminal was built in 1937 and was among the first structures to display the characteristics of Stalinist Empire style in Soviet architecture. It shaped the development of Moscow's river infrastructure during that period.
Culture
The building displays mosaics and medallions from the 1930s that reflect the Soviet artistic vision of that era. These decorative elements tell a story about how Moscow wanted to present itself through its public structures.
Practical
