The tallest building in Moscow

Like most megacities, reaching some limits, Moscow began to grow not in breadth, but skyward. The result was the appearance in the Russian capital of a lot of skyscrapers, boldly ascended to the most insane heights . Today we invite you to a virtual walk through the tallest buildings in Moscow.

Top of the tallest buildings in Moscow

1. The title of the tallest building in Moscow is proudly worn by the Moscow City complex of skyscrapers, the height of the main tower of which the Mercury Tower is not much, not a little - 338.8 meters! For the first time the idea of ​​creating a specialized high-altitude business center in the Russian capital was born more than two decades ago and matured for ten years. At the beginning of the 21st century, the "construction of the century" was started, and today Muscovites and guests of the capital can see almost the whole complex in full composition. Against the background of the rest, and quite a few rather large buildings, the giant Mercury City building is especially prominent, pleasing to the eye with a pleasant orange coloring. On the 75 floors of the skyscraper Mercury City, built in the period from 2009 to 2013, found a place for restaurants, office space, fitness centers and trading floors. Underground parking Mercury City Tower is designed for 437 parking spaces. It is best to compare the difference in the altitude of the Mercury City Tower and other Moscow skyscrapers from the observation deck on Vorobyevy Gory, from where you can see a stunning view of the city.
2. The second place among the giant buildings in Moscow is occupied by a residential skyscraper Triumph Palace , which is 264.1 meters high. More than ten years ago, after the installation of the spire, Triumph Palace received the title of the highest residential structure, not only in Moscow, but throughout Europe. It should be noted that the installation of a spire on such a giant was also not an easy task, it can be realized only with the help of special helicopters. It is necessary to single out separately the architecture of the building, designed in the style of Stalin's skyscrapers.
3. The three leaders are closed by a building that has kept the palm tree for almost half a century since its construction - the main building of the Moscow State University on Vorobyovy Gory. Despite its impressive height of 240 meters, the building of the University of Moscow does not look cumbersome at all. It is said that the building of Moscow State University fell in love not only with Muscovites, but also with Peregrine Falcons, who with great pleasure build nests on it and breed their offspring.
4. The fourth tallest building in Moscow (210 meters) LCD building "House on Mosfilmovskaya" is famous not so much for this as for the scandal that accompanied its construction. When the construction work was in full swing, the authorities found in the project as many as 22 extra floors. Proceedings in this regard were almost two years and in 2011, "House on Mosfilmovskaya" was successfully taken into operation.
5. The five of the Moscow skyscrapers are closed by the hotel "Ukraine" built in the distant 1957. Created by the design of the best architects of that time and richly decorated with stucco, the hotel still looks very impressive today. Its height is 206 meters.
6. LCD "Tricolor", though not yet completed, but it is already stretched up to occupy the sixth line of the rating. The design height of its two towers is 192 meters. Painted in the colors of the Russian state flag (albeit in an arbitrary order), the LCD "Tricolor" has already become a real Moscow landmark.
7. On the seventh line are the high-rise buildings of the LCD "Vorobyovy Gory" , whose height is about 188 meters. Although the residential complex appeared on the map of Moscow relatively recently, but already quite confidently blended into the local landscape.
