Rogozhskaya Zastava Square, Square in Tagansky District, Moscow, Russia

Rogozhskaya Zastava Square is a public square in the Tagansky District of Moscow, Russia. It lies at the intersection of several streets and a boulevard, and two metro stations serve it.

The square formed from the merger of two older squares: Rogozhskaya Zastava and Sennaya. In the 20th century, it was renamed twice before its historical name was restored in 1992.

The square is known locally as a transport hub where people switch between metro, buses, and trams. Near the railway bridge, a small park holds a surviving verst marker from 1783, a detail that often goes unnoticed.

The square is easy to reach by metro, with two stations nearby, and several bus and tram lines stop around it. When you arrive, look for the open central area to get your bearings, as the surrounding streets radiate in different directions.

A bronze statue of Lenin, installed in 1967, stands on the square; it was created by a Lithuanian sculptor and brought to Moscow from Vilnius. The square also appears in a famous children's poem by Sergey Mikhalkov, where Uncle Styopa lived near the old gate.
