Rostokino Aqueduct, Stone aqueduct in Rostokino District, Moscow, Russia
The Rostokino Aqueduct spans 356 meters across the Yauza River with 21 arches made of stone, reaching a height of 19 meters above water level.
Catherine the Great commissioned this structure in 1780 as part of Moscow's first centralized water system, with construction completing under Alexander I in 1804.
The structure earned the nickname Milliony Bridge due to its total construction cost of 2 million roubles, an extraordinary sum for early 19th century Russia.
Visitors can find the aqueduct near Prospekt Mira metro station, behind building 184, where recent restorations in 2006 and 2007 preserved its structure.
This water pipeline remained operational until 1937, using iron pipes installed in the 1850s to replace the original masonry canal system.
