The Northern River Terminal known as the Five Seas’ port is a Moscow landmark public space and transportation hub. The River Terminal was built in the Stalinist Empire style in 1937. Its characteristic features include a spire decorated with a star from the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower and a wide central staircase. In 2020 the North River Terminal has been reinaugurated after 2 years of reconstruction. During the reconstruction most of the original elements of the building and interior details were preserved, and the missing parts were overhauled according to the historical patterns.
