Rumyantsevo, Metro station in Moscow, Russia
Rumyantsevo is a metro station in the Moskovsky Settlement area of Moscow, located on the red Sokolnicheskaya Line. It has two separate entrance halls positioned on opposite sides of Kiyevskoye Highway, with platforms running deep underground.
The station opened in 2013 as the temporary western terminus of the Sokolnicheskaya Line, before the line was extended further west in 2016. During construction, workers found artifacts from the 16th century, including pottery and pieces of jewelry.
The station interior is decorated with colored tiles arranged in geometric patterns that draw from the style of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. This makes the platform one of the more visually distinctive stops on the Moscow metro.
The station has two separate entrances on opposite sides of a busy road, so it is worth checking which exit leads closest to your destination before you arrive. The corridors are long and the platforms are deep, so allow extra time during busy hours.
Although the station sits in a modern business district, the ground beneath it once held the remains of a 16th-century settlement found during construction. This was unexpected given that the area appeared to have little historical presence before recent development.
