🚶 Nagatinskaya Embankment

Нагатинская наб., от Нагатинского моста до Судостроительной ул.

Moscow's longest embankment — about 5.6 km along the river opposite the Nagatinskaya floodplain; in 2025 the pavements were widened, new lamps were installed and the wires were put underground.

This is Moscow's longest embankment — about 5.6 km, from Danilovsky Bridge to Sudostroitelnaya Street.
It is named after the village of Nagatino, which became part of Moscow in 1960.
Where the word "Nagatino" comes from is not known for sure; one version is "na gati", meaning a marshy spot reinforced with logs.
The development was conceived in 1972 as an ensemble of "sail" buildings of 10 to 25 storeys with 35-storey accent towers; the chief architect was R. P. Aldonina.
The towers were never built: the eastern edge was filled with standard 22-storey blocks.
In 2025 the pavements were widened, new lamps were installed and overhead lines were put underground.
