Über den Bezirk
According to tradition, the Danilov Monastery was founded in the late 13th century by Prince Daniel of Moscow, the youngest son of Alexander Nevsky. In 1983 it became the first Moscow monastery returned to the Church, and today it is the official residence of the Patriarch.
In 1916 the AMO car plant, later ZIS and ZIL, was founded in a bend of the Moskva River. For most of the 20th century the area was one of the country’s main industrial sites.
In the 2010s construction began on the ZILART quarter on the factory site, with residential buildings by different architects, Tyufeleva Roshcha park and an embankment.
