About The Northern River Terminal of Moscow Elveterminal for passasjerer
Nordre elveterminal i Moskva er et offentlig rom og et knutepunkt for elvetransport. Bygningen stammer fra 1930-tallet og er et eksempel på stalinistisk empirestil. Sokkelen er laget av polert rød granitt, og hovedportalene er utført i grågrønn dioritt, som kontrasterer med hvite gallerisøyler. Det tre etasjer høye palasset er 150 meter langt, og tårnspiret når 27 meter i høyden. En restaurering bevarte de fleste originale elementer og interiørdetaljer, mens manglende deler ble gjenskapt etter historiske forbilder. Terminalen betjener passasjerfartøy og en park for helårs rekreasjon.
