Vladivostok Railway Station

Vladivostok Railway Station is the passenger terminal of Vladivostok-Gorod station, the terminal station of the Great Trans-Siberian Railway.

The author of this project was the architect E. Bazilevsky, who took part in the laying of the station building and laid the first stone of the building. The solemn consecration of the station took place on November 2, 1893. Initially, it was a stone building with an iron roof, in the middle part - one-storey, on the edges - two-storey. The floors in the building were lined with clay Japanese slabs, which have survived to this day.

In 1912, the station in Vladivostok was expanded and built, creating architecturally finished stations at both ends of the Trans-Siberian railway. The original building became part of the railway station.

After the restoration, which lasted 2 years (from 1994 to 1996), the building acquired almost the same appearance that it had in pre-revolutionary times.

Since 1924 and to this day, the appearance of the building is constantly changing: relief images from irrigated ceramics were replaced by Russian folklore and fairy tales. The station was repeatedly painted by famous artists, whose work can still be contemplated by all the guests of the station.
