Sofiyskaya Embankment, Riverfront promenade in Yakimanka District, Moscow, Russia.

The embankment extends along the Moskva River, connecting Serafimovicha Street to Balchug Street with numerous historical buildings and mansions.

The area includes the House of Lobkov, constructed in 1816 on foundations that survived the fire of 1812 during Napoleon's invasion.

The St. Sophia Church, located at building number 32, represents religious architecture from the early 18th century with later renovations.

The embankment provides pedestrian access to multiple architectural monuments, including the former Einem confectionery factory and Mariinsky Women's School complex.

Building number 14/12 belonged to P. I. Kharitonenko, known as the sugar king, who commissioned its construction between 1891 and 1893.
