Kratovo, Vacation village in Ramensky District, Moscow Oblast, Russia.
Kratovo is a vacation settlement southeast of Moscow with residential areas shaped by gardens, hedges, and large trees. The terrain spreads across gentle slopes with individual homes scattered among green spaces.
The settlement began in the late 1800s when the old village of Prozorovsky transformed into a modern residential area. During the 20th century, it became a retreat for cultural figures and writers.
Artists and musicians came here to escape the city and work in quiet homes during the 20th century. The tree-lined streets and older villas still reflect this creative past today.
