Tsaritsyno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tsaritsyno (Царицыно), "Tsarina's," is a station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. It is named after nearby Tsaritsyno Park, which was once an estate belonging to Catherine the Great. The station has white marble pillars and walls inlaid with patterns of red, brown, gray, and yellow marble and mosaics depicting the achievements of Russian science. A mosaic by A.N. Kuznetsov above the entrance stairs depicts the Moscow skyline. Tsaritsyno originally opened in 1984 but has been closed twice due to flooding. The architects of the station were V.A. Cheremin and A.L. Vigdorov. The entrance is located at the intersection of Proletarsky Prospekt and Kaspiyskaya Ulitsa.
