About The Northern River Terminal of Moscow دریائی مسافر ٹرمینل

ماسکو کا شمالی دریائی ٹرمینل ایک عوامی مقام اور دریائی نقل و حمل کا مرکز ہے۔ یہ عمارت 1930 کی دہائی کی ہے اور اسٹالن دور کے ایمپائر طرزِ تعمیر کی ایک مثال ہے۔ اس کی بنیاد چمکائے ہوئے سرخ گرینائٹ سے بنی ہے اور مرکزی دروازے سرمئی سبز ڈایورائٹ سے تیار کیے گئے ہیں، جو سفید راہداری کے ستونوں کے ساتھ ایک دلکش تضاد پیدا کرتے ہیں۔ تین منزلہ یہ محل 150 میٹر طویل ہے اور اس کا مینار 27 میٹر کی بلندی تک پہنچتا ہے۔ بحالی کے کام میں زیادہ تر اصل عناصر اور اندرونی تفصیلات کو محفوظ رکھا گیا، جبکہ گم شدہ حصوں کو تاریخی نمونوں کی پیروی کرتے ہوئے دوبارہ تیار کیا گیا۔ یہ ٹرمینل مسافر جہازوں کو خدمات فراہم کرتا ہے اور اس کے ساتھ ایک پارک سال بھر تفریح کا موقع دیتا ہے۔
