Industrial past, a prison, and a space center in one route
Stories along the route
Звенигородская (станция метро, Москва) · 0.1 km
You are standing at a station that could have been called something completely different — Presnya. Yes, yes, the project name was exactly that, and it referred to the historic district that stretches out nearby.
Пресненская пересыльная тюрьма · 0.1 km
Before you is a place people rarely speak about aloud, yet one that holds the memory of thousands of fates. This is the Krasnopresnenskaya transit prison, today officially known as Pre-trial Detention Facility No. 3.
Шелепиха · 1.3 km
You are standing at the spot where the village of Shelepikha once stood. Imagine: the left bank of the Moskva River, a quiet life — and now a noisy metropolis.
Пресня (станция) · 3.6 km
Перед вами не просто железнодорожная платформа, а станция, которая хранит в себе ритм целого города. Это Пресня — участковая станция Малого кольца Московской железной дороги.
