Azimut Hotel Murmansk on Five Corners

Five Corners Square (Russian: Площадь Пять Углов; tr. Ploshchad' Pyat' Uglov) is the main square of Murmansk, Russia. From 1977 until December 1990 it was formally named "Soviet Constitution Square",[1] but this name never entered wide popular use.

The following buildings are located on the square:

* the Murmansk Regional Duma building (this building formerly housed the Sevryba Management Software company)
* the General Post Office
* the Kirov Cultural and Technology Center
* the Azimut Hotel Murmansk (formerly the Arctic)
* the Meridian Hotel
* Volna ("Wave"), a supermarket

Until the mid-1980s, there were many two-story wooden houses around the square. The last of these were demolished after the construction of the Hotel Arctic.
