Rostokinsky Aqueduct

Rostokinsky Aqueduct is a hydraulic engineering structure of the defunct Mytishchi aqueduct system and the only surviving aqueduct of the five built for this system. It runs over the valley of the Yauza River and was built in 1783-1784. The aqueduct was used for its original purpose until 1902, then for the next 60 years it supported a water supply system, and from 1962 to 2004, a heating main. Since 2007, the Rostokinsky Aqueduct has been turned into a pedestrian bridge and is the main attraction of the capital's 1960 recreation park. It was declared a building of national importance.
