Semyonovskaya, Metro station in Sokolinaya Gora District, Moscow, Russia.
Semyonovskaya is a metro station in the Sokolinaya Gora district of Moscow, lined with white and red marble columns arranged in four rows along the platform. The walls are covered in grey marble, and green floor lamps run along the base, giving the hall a measured and ordered look.
The station opened in 1944 under the name Stalinskaya and was renamed Semyonovskaya in 1961. The new name comes from the nearby Semyonovskoye village, an old settlement that gave its name to this part of the city.
Military decorations displayed on the walls feature Soviet weapons and orders honoring the Red Army's service. These symbols shape the station's appearance and remain visible to everyone passing through daily.
The station has several entrances and is open to all visitors without restrictions. To get a good look at the interior, it helps to avoid the morning and evening rush hours when the platform fills quickly.
When it opened in 1944, this was the deepest station in the entire Moscow Metro network. That record held for about six years until new stations were built at greater depths in 1950.
