Troparyovo (Russian: Тропарёво) is a station on the south-western part of the Moscow Metro's Sokolnicheskaya Line. It opened on 8 December 2014 and served as the line terminus until 18 January 2016.[1] It comes next after Yugo-Zapadnaya, the previous terminus of the line until 2014.[2] Two stations beyond Troparyovo, Rumyantsevo and Salaryevo were opened in 2016. It features an example of modern bionic architecture: there are artificial, shiny metal "trees" with lights forming "leaves", allowing the station's ceiling to stay untouched and smooth.
Name
[edit]The station is named after the Troparyovo microdistrict, which, in turn, inherited its name from the village standing here before the expansion of Moscow.
Location
[edit]The station is located in the southwestern part of Moscow, at the intersection of Leninsky Avenue and Ruzskaya Street, at the border between Tyoply Stan and Troparyovo-Nikulino districts.
