Notes in blog, seria «Moscow gate» from travel across Russia (and world). Collection yet 1 pix
Moscow triumphal arch is on crossing of the Moscow and Ligovsky avenuees. They are built in 1834 — 1838 under V.P.Stasov`s project in honour of the victorious termination of Russian-Turkish war (1828 — 1829). A grandiose metal triumphal construction, in the spirit of similar constructions of an antiquity, but stylised under classicism trends. In 1936 to year of a collar have been dismantled and returned on a former place in 1959 — 1960 years.
