Every visitor to Moscow is irresistibly drawn to the Red Square, the historical and spiritual heart of the city.

Moscow Manege is one of the most remarkable buildings in Moscow. It is located next to Manege Square. The Moscow Manege was designed by a Spanish engineer. Manege is a unique building, as it has no internal roof support. The roof rafters rest on the external columns of the manege, providing area for the riders to work. Manege served as a place where horsemen could show and develop their skills. In 1831, Manege was converted into an exhibition place and an art gallery. In 2004 great fire destroyed most parts of the Manege, but it was soon reconstructed.
