Novodevichy Convent
Visit the convent for a coherent historic ensemble of churches, walls and towers. Its religious setting calls for a slower visit than a general city viewpoint.
Founded in the sixteenth century, Novodevichy preserves an ensemble strongly associated with Moscow Baroque architecture. UNESCO also places it within the city's former chain of defensive monastic sites. Looking at the walls alongside the religious buildings reveals how the convent combined spiritual, dynastic and protective functions.
