Simferopol Train Station

The train station in the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is beautiful. It was built in the communist era with typical characteristics of this period, slightly more Baroque than its contemporaries. The outside is white and the inside white and mint green with lots of arches and embossed ceilings. What is most striking inside is the medallions dedicated to relevant communist figures, such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin ... An unusual Communist decoration, really. The decoration on the ceilings is beautiful and very elaborate. The stand out feature outside is the clock tower, topped by a red star and with a red border.
