Triumph Palace
Triumph Palace (Russian: Триу́мф-Пала́с, transliterated as Triumf Palas) is the tallest apartment building in Moscow and all of Europe. It is sometimes called the Eighth Sister because it is similar in appearance to the Seven Sisters[4] skyscrapers built in Moscow under Joseph Stalin through the 1950s. Construction began in 2001.
