Kolomenskaya (Metro)

Kolomenskaya (Metro)

Kolomenskaya ( _ru. Коломенская) is a station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro, which was opened on 11 August, 1969 as part of the southern extension of the line.

Named after the Kolomenskoye museum-park next to it, the station is built to a typical pillar-trispan "sorokonozhka" (centipede) design that was typical of the time. Designed by architects L.Shagurina and V.Cheremin, the station's theme was inspired by the ancient Russian motives associated with the location. Featuring a bright appearance with two rows of forty octagonal-shaped concrete pillars faced with white marble, and a floor laid with grey granite of various shades and asphalt on the platform edges. The station contains several copper plaques among the yellow ceramic tiled walls. Created by sculptor E.Ladygin, these show images from popular historical Russian bogatyr myth "With what motherland began".

The station has two underground vestibules, located on the intersection between the Andropova avenue and the Nagatinskaya/Novinki street. Both vestibules are interlinked with subways that offer exits to the surface which are covered with typical glazed pavilions.

The construction of the station is a typical example of Soviet urban development, as the houses that were built around it are not much older than the station. In fact the region that it is located in, Nagatino became part of Moscow only a few years prior. Part of the track from Avtozavodskaya is above ground, and it passes over the Moskva River on the Nagatinsky Metro Bridge which was opened simultaneously with the new segment. It is planned that a new station, Tekhnopark (alternative name, Prospekt Andropova) will be added there in the future decade.
