About The Northern River Terminal of Moscow Terminal Fluviale Passeggeri
Il Terminal Fluviale Nord di Mosca è uno spazio pubblico e un nodo di trasporto fluviale. L'edificio risale agli anni Trenta ed è un esempio dello stile impero staliniano. Il basamento è realizzato in granito rosso levigato e i portali principali in diorite grigio-verde, in contrasto con le bianche colonne del loggiato. Il palazzo, su tre livelli, è lungo 150 metri e la guglia raggiunge i 27 metri di altezza. Un intervento di restauro ha preservato la maggior parte degli elementi originali e dei dettagli degli interni, mentre le parti mancanti sono state ricostruite seguendo i modelli storici. Il terminal serve le imbarcazioni passeggeri e un parco destinato alla ricreazione durante tutto l'anno.
