Paveletskaya-Radialnaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paveletskaya (Russian: Павелецкая), also known as Paveletskaya-Radialnaya, is a Moscow Metro station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. It opened in 1943 and was designed by S.V. Lyashchenko and E.S. Demchenko. Paveletskaya features tall white marble pillars decorated with the hammer and sickle and a high, arched ceiling. The walls are faced with white marble.
Paveletskaya had to be partially rebuilt following a devastating train fire in 1987 in which parts of the station were severely damaged but, surprisingly, no one was badly injured.
[edit] Transfers
From this station it is possible to transfer to Paveletskaya on the Koltsevaya Line.
The aeroexpress train link with busy Domodedovo aiport also operates in Paveletskaya.
