Rogozhskaya yamskaya sloboda

Rogozhskaya yamskaya sloboda is a neighborhood in Tagansky District where two-story buildings from the 19th century line the streets, creating a distinctive architectural ensemble in eastern Moscow. The structures display varying styles and give the district a recognizable visual character.

The neighborhood was founded in the late 16th century as a settlement for coachmen operating postal routes between Moscow, Vladimir, and Ryazan. A devastating fire in 1886 fundamentally altered the district.

The neighborhood holds several religious structures, including the Church of Saint Alexius and the Church of Saint Sergius, that reflect Moscow's ecclesiastical evolution.

The neighborhood connects easily to public transportation and is accessible on foot. The Spasoglinischevsky courtyard provides a quiet space to rest during exploration.

After the great fire of 1886, many buildings were reconstructed, resulting in a fascinating blend of different architectural styles standing side by side. This variety reflects how the neighborhood adapted to destruction and renewal.
