Zamoskvorechye District, Historic district on the southern bank of Moskva River, Moscow, Russia
Zamoskvorechye spans 432 hectares across the central part of Moscow, featuring traditional merchant houses and narrow streets lined with 18th-century buildings.
The district originated in the 14th century as a settlement area for craftsmen and traders, later becoming a prominent merchant quarter during the Russian Empire.
The neighborhood contains 17 preserved Orthodox churches, multiple theaters, and the State Tretyakov Gallery, displaying extensive collections of Russian fine arts.
The district connects to central Moscow through three metro stations: Novokuznetskaya, Tretyakovskaya, and Paveletskaya, offering direct access to main transportation hubs.
Several buildings in Zamoskvorechye retain their original wooden foundations from the 18th century, preserved by the specific composition of local soil.
