Komsomolskaya Metro Station

Komsomolskaya metro station is located on the Koltsevaya Line of the Moscow Metro. This station, with its arched yellow ceiling, is known for being equally beautiful and busy. Though this station was built in the 1950s, it shows influence of the Baroque style, with intricate medallions decorating the ceiling.

Mosaics depict scenes from Russian history and historic weaponry.
