Donskói
Distrito
The district of the Donskoy Monastery and the Shukhov Tower on Shabolovka — one of the most history-rich parts of southern Moscow.
Sobre el distrito
The Donskoy Monastery was founded in 1591 in honour of the Don Icon of the Mother of God, on the site of the Russian camp before the battle with Khan Kazy-Girey’s army. Its necropolis is one of the most important in Moscow.
In 1919–1922 Vladimir Shukhov’s hyperboloid radio tower was built on Shabolovka, later used for television broadcasting. Shabolovskaya station opened in 1980.
