The main stages of development of spatial planning structure of Murmansk in the 1920s–1950s are determined. Archival documents and the main historically developed urban planning situations, the logic of its historical development is revealed based on the analysis of the stages of development of the city. The features of the original relief and its influence on the formation of the spatial planning structure of the city are considered. The specificity of the structure of Prospect Lenina, the main planning axis of Murmansk, is characterized; its importance in the phased development of the spatial structure of the historic city center is noted. Valuable components of the structure are identified, namely, time-stable planning nodes, as well as architectural elements - dominants, accents, plastic details that form the silhouette and rhythm of the streets. The spatial and planning structures of Murmansk and Leningrad of 1930s –1950s are compared and similarities and differences are determined to identify the architectural and planning specifics of Murmansk. The author makes a suggestion for adjustment the protection zones of the historic city center.
