Arbatskaya (Filyovskaya line)

Arbatskaya (Russian: Арба́тская) is a station on the Filyovskaya line of the Moscow Metro.[1] Completed in 1935,[2] 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.[3] The walls are covered with cream-colored ceramic tile. The architect was L. Teplitskiy.
