More about the Moskovsky Station
The station was designed by Konstatin Thon (an architect who is responsible for Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow) in 1851 and is the oldest preserved rail station in Saint Petersburg. Interestingly, the station was only given Moskovsky name in 1930.
The railway station is a terminus for Saint Petersburg-Moscow railway and also offers trains to Central, South Russia, Siberia, Crimea and even Eastern Ukraine. With regards to arcitecture style, Moskovsky station can amaze with its large "Venetian" windows, Corinthian columns, tall clocktower. The station is an example of Renaissance architecture successfully combined with other features.
