The building occupied by the Russian Federation Constitutional Court is situated in the historical center of Moscow called Kitay-gorod, in Ilyinka Street. This part of Kitay-gorod has been known since the end of the XIX century as the Moscow 'city' - the financial and entrepreneural district. The building was designed by architect V.Oltarzhevskiy and was constructed by engineer I.Rerberg in 1908 in a neoclassical style, characteristic of many buildings of that period.
