Komsomolskaya Square, informally known as Three Station Square, is one of the busiest squares in Moscow, noted for its impressive blend of Tsarist and Stalinist architecture. Its popular name refers to three ornate rail termini situated there: Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky.

The square was given its present name in 1932 to commemorate the Komsomol workers who built the Moscow Metro.
