Rostokino District, Administrative district in North-Eastern Moscow, Russia.
Rostokino District is an administrative area in North-Eastern Moscow that stretches along both sides of the Yauza River. It shares borders with Yaroslavsky, Sviblovo, and Ostankinsky districts, forming part of the broader urban landscape.
The area developed from a village with a name rooted in Old East Slavic language, referring to a river opening. Over time, it was incorporated into Moscow's administrative framework and became an urban district.
The Gorky Film Studio operates here and has shaped the area's role in Russian cinema production. Walking through the district, you notice how the studio influences local activity and gives the place a creative character.
The district is accessible by car, train, or public transport through the Rostokino station on the Moscow Central Circle and Tram Line 17. Main areas within the district are connected and walkable for getting around.
The district contains a stone aqueduct built in the 18th century that still carries water across the landscape. This working historical structure is a rare reminder of early infrastructure engineering and remains functional in the modern city.
