Why go
White walls and red-and-white Moscow Baroque churches form a compact monastic ensemble beside a pond. At Novodevichy Convent, that feature establishes the main reason to stop. The convent's close ties to dynastic and political history give its architecture unusual narrative depth. This second observation changes the visit by connecting Novodevichy Convent to history and architecture; it deserves attention before you leave Novodevichy Convent.
