Krasnopresnenskaya embankment is an embankment on the left bank of the Moskva River in the Presnensky district of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. It passes under the Bagration and Novoarbatsky bridges. It is a continuation of the 4th Krasnogvardeisky lane, passes into the Smolenskaya embankment and to Presnenskaya embankment. Exhibition and Glubokoy lanes, 1905 and Nikolaev streets overlook the embankment. The embankment was built from prefabricated reinforced concrete, lined with granite.
The embankment got its name in 1940 in memory of the armed uprising of 1905.
Krasnopresnenskaya embankment arose in the 1760s – 1770s. At the end of the 18th century, the Prokhorovskaya Manufactory (now the Trekhgornaya Manufactory) was built in the Three Mountains area. In 1965-1979, the House of Soviets of the RSFSR (now the House of the Government of the Russian Federation) was built on the embankment.
