Grand 18th–19th‑century orphanage along the Moskva River offers a long neoclassical façade, riverside reflections and views toward the Kremlin — ideal for architectural and urban river scenes. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side lighting; blue hour for façade and city lights. Exterior shots only; central location is walkable from the Kremlin and serviced by several metro stations. Limited parking; weekdays are quieter. Snow and ice add seasonal contrast.
