Kantemirovskaya (Кантемировская) is a station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. The station is part of an extension that originally opened on December 30, 1983, but was closed the very next day because of flooding. It was not reopened until September of 1984.
Designed by R.I. Pogrebnoy and V.N. Filippov, Kantemirovskaya is a vault-type station with benches and signs attached to pink marble pillars situated along the center axis of the platform. The walls are faced with brown marble. A sculptural group by A.P. Kibalnikov is located at one end of the platform.
