Ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent
Located in the southwest of Moscow, the Novodevichy Convent was built in the 16th and 17th centuries in the Moscow Baroque style as part of a series of monastic complexes in the city's defense system. The monastery is directly related to Russia's political, cultural and religious history and is closely associated with the Moscow Kremlin. It was used by women from the tsarist family and the nobility. Members of the tsarist family and their entourage are also buried in the monastery's cemetery. The monastery is an example of the highest achievement of Russian architecture, with richly decorated interiors and important paintings and artifacts.
