Restoration of the Rostokino Aqueduct — a cultural heritage site of federal significance — has been completed
At the end of the 18th century it was considered the largest stone bridge in Russia. Later the structure became a key element of Moscow’s first water supply system, created by decree of Catherine II to solve the capital’s shortage of drinking water.
💦 The water supply system operated for more than 100 years, until it was modernized at the beginning of the 20th century: cast-iron pipes were laid, through which water was supplied to Moscow until the early 1960s.
📍 The main task facing our specialists was to return the site to its historic appearance and adapt it for modern use.
Thanks to comprehensive restoration in 2024–2025, the aqueduct has been given new life and has become part of the walking route of the new “Yauza” park. You can now also see how the capital’s water-supply system worked two centuries ago: a historic trough with an imitation of flowing water has been recreated in the gallery.
🖼🖼 Moscow is a world leader in preserving historical and cultural heritage. Since 2011, 2,377 architectural monuments have been restored. Since the start of the year work has been under way at roughly 500 sites, 30 of which are already complete.
