🏛 Rostokino Aqueduct

A white-stone aqueduct about 356 m long on 21 arches over the Yauza, part of Moscow's first 18th-century water supply.

It is the only survivor of the five aqueducts of the Mytishchi water supply, started by decree of Catherine II in 1779.
The aqueduct was nicknamed the "Million Bridge", although about a million rubles were allotted to the whole water supply, not to the bridge.
Catherine II inspected the aqueduct in 1785 and said of it: "It looks light as a feather... and very sturdy".
The aqueduct is 356 meters long and up to 15 meters high; it was never rebuilt in the 19th century.
Mytishchi water ran through the aqueduct until 1962, and then until 2004 a heating main ran through it.
In 2004–2007 the aqueduct was turned into a covered, illuminated pedestrian bridge.
