The gates of the city
The city gates - a complex of quarters located in front of the station building. It is perceived as the main entrance to the city from the railway and bus stations and also it is a symbol of the capital, it's business card, decorating more than one hundred postcards and magnets.
The solemnity of perception is reinforced by two eleven-story "twin towers" symmetrically placed in the corners of five-storey apartment houses. On the upper levels there are sculptures of peasants, workers, and Red Army soldiers. On one of the towers are the biggest watches in Belarus (diameter more than 3.5 m) created more than a hundred years ago in Gemany, which were brought to Belarus as a trophy of the Great Patriotic War.
Government house
The Government House is a monument of architecture of constructivism, built in 1934, is the largest building in the Belarusian architecture in the interwar period. Its volume is 240 thousand cubic meters. Despite the fact that its large size, the cold gray tones of the stone plaster and some crushing of the volumes, the building does not seem bulky and heavy.
Currently, the legislative body of state power operates here - the Parliament, the central executive body - the Council of Ministers, other state institutions.
Main Post Office
Main Post Office is the central post office, which performs an important function - it organizes postal communication in the territory of the city of Minsk.

It was built shortly after the Great Patriotic War in 1949-1953.
To date, not only the building of the post office itself, with all its severity and even some slight gloominess, deserves attention, but also unusual watches fixed on the facade that show not only Minsk, but also time in 35 cities of the world.

It is the central and largest highway of Minsk, the large-scale work of art and the keeper of memory.
