The shopping arcade is a unique example of eclectic architecture from the early 20th century. Its design combines elements of Art Nouveau and neoclassicism. The single-story rectangular buildings are interconnected, their facades facing different streets in the city center—Kalinin, Pirogovskaya, Krasnaya, and Komsomolskaya.
Today, the shopping arcades are not only a historical monument but also a part of the city's tourist atmosphere. Some buildings are used as modern stores, while others remain empty, creating a unique atmosphere of bygone eras. Tours allow visitors to immerse themselves in Mstislav's past, explore the historic buildings, learn about the city's rich commercial life, and admire the architectural details. The area also features archaeological finds from the 1980s and modern research.
