About The Northern River Terminal of Moscow Putnički rečni terminal
Severni rečni terminal Moskve je javni prostor i čvorište rečnog saobraćaja. Zgrada potiče iz 1930-ih godina i predstavlja primer staljinističkog carskog stila (Stalinist Empire style). Postolje je izrađeno od polirano crvenog granita, a glavni portali od sivo-zelenog diorita, što stvara kontrast sa belim stubovima galerije. Trospratna palata duga je 150 metara, a njen toranj dostiže visinu od 27 metara. Restauracijom su sačuvani gotovo svi originalni elementi i detalji enterijera, dok su nedostajući delovi rekonstruisani prema istorijskim uzorima. Terminal služi za prijem putničkih plovila, a uz njega se nalazi i park namenjen celogodišnjoj rekreaciji.
