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.

Arbatskaya's vestibule is a unique five-tiered, pentagonal structure with the word "Metro" written on all sides. The building is currently painted bright red, making it noticeable and instantly recognizable.[citation needed]
