The owners of Akropole shopping and entertainment center also paid tribute to the historical past of the object, on the site of which a modern shopping center was erected. In memory of the Kuznetsov Porcelain Factory, the pipes of the factory remained in the complex, and about 500,000 authentic bricks from the old industrial buildings were used in the building design.
