Overview
The Seven Sisters are group of seven skyscrapers in Moscow designed in Stalinist style. They were built from 1947 to 1953 in elaborate combination of Russian Baroque and Gothic styles. These towers are inspired by the Municipal Building in Manhattan
Description
The foundations for seven large skyscrapers were laid in 1947 to mark Moscow’s 800th anniversary. Stalin had decided that Moscow suffered from a ‘skyscraper gap’ when compared to the USA, and ordered the construction of these seven behemoths to jump-start the city’s skyline.
