Gorkovskaya (Russian: Го́рьковская) is a station on the Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya Line of the Saint Petersburg Metro. It was designed by A.S. Getskin, V.P. Shuvalova, S.L.Mihaylov, H.I. Bashnin, S.I. Evdokimov, A.P. Izoitko and E.I. Travnikov. It opened on July 1, 1963. The station's name was derived from Maxim Gorky Avenue (later renamed Kronverskiy Avenue). The station was designed as a tribute to the writer.
The ground-level vestibule is located at the intersection between Kamennoovstovsky and Kronverksky Prospects. The vestibule is designed to withstand a direct impact during carpet bombing.
[edit] Notable landmarks
The station is located in close proximity to Peter and Paul Fortress, as well as the Saint Petersburg Mosque and Leningrad Zoo.
