Arbatskaya
'Arbatskaya' () is a station on the
Filyovskaya Line of the
Moscow Metro. Completed in
1935, it was one of the original Metro stations. The design is the same standard pillar-trispan template used for
Smolenskaya,
Sokolniki, and
Park Kultury. The pillars are faced with pinkish
marble and the platform is a matching shade of
granite. The walls are covered with cream-colored
ceramic tile. The architect was L Teplitskiy
Arbatskaya's vestibule is a unique five-tiered, pentagonal structure with the word "Metro" written on all sides. The building is currently painted bright red, making it noticeable and instantly recognizable. Another entrance is planned to be added to the other end of the station by
2008.
