MOSCOW TRIUMPHAL ARCH built in 1834-38, designed by architect V.P. Stasov, stands on the intersection of Moskovsky Avenue and Ligovsky Avenue in commemoration of the Russian military victories in the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-29. The arch, possessing twelve Doric columns, is crowned with sculptural compositions representing prizes of the war and figures of genii (sculptor B.I. Orlovsky, the sculptures cast at Alexandrovsky iron foundry). In 1936, the Moscow Triumphal Arch was dismantled; reconstructed in 1959-61 (architects E.N. Petrova, I.G. Kaptsyug; the missing fragments, pillars and entablement were cast at Kirovsky Plant). References: Раскин А. Г. Триумфальные арки Ленинграда. Л., 1977. С. 183-207. O. A. Chekanova.
