MOSCOW METROStations of the Moscow Metro — "underground palaces of Moscow" — make one of the main sights

of a city. They are distinguished by a really palatial magnificence of vestibules and underground halls.

Stations of the capital Metro are the monuments of architecture inseparably linked with history of Moscow

and the whole country in which all stages of development of national architecture were embodied.

"Mayakovskaya" is considered one of the most beautiful stations. "Revolution Square", "Kropotkinskaya",

"Komsomolskaya" (belt-line), "Novoslobodskaya" and others are considered the most interesting

architectural monuments of 1930—50th. Over twenty kinds of marble, labradorite, granite, porphyry,

rhodonite, onyx and other breeds of building stone were used in Moscow Metro construction. Underground

complexes are decorated by statues and reliefs, monumental and decoration compositions (painting,

mosaic, stained-glass windows and lists) of art directors of the country. Architects and builders of Moscow

underground aspired to create not only comfortable conditions for passengers, but also to give an individual

shape to each station.
