Kaluzhskaya Square, Square in Yakimanka District, Moscow, Russia

Kaluzhskaya Square is a public square in the Yakimanka District of Moscow, Russia. It lies on the Garden Ring and serves as a junction where several streets meet, with the Oktyabrskaya metro station nearby.

Kaluzhskaya Square was laid out in the late 18th century as a toll gate on the road to Kaluga. Over time, it grew into a busy junction on the Garden Ring, and the square's layout changed with the expansion of the city.

The square is named after the road to Kaluga, and locals often use it as a meeting point near the metro. On warm days, people sit on the low walls around the square, and small vendors sell snacks and drinks.

The square is easy to reach on foot from the Oktyabrskaya metro station, and several bus and trolleybus lines stop along the Garden Ring. Cross the wide avenues with care, as traffic can be heavy, and use the pedestrian crossings at the corners.

Under the square, the Oktyabrskaya metro station has a circular vestibule that is rare in Moscow. The station's design includes a wide dome and a central hall that passengers often pass through without noticing.
