Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The monastery was built by Vasily III in 1524 to commemorate the liberation of the ancient Russian city of Smolinsk from Lithuanian rule. Until the beginning of the 18th century, the Nova Convent had been enjoying the protection of the royal family, and for this reason, its splendor was extraordinary, and it was the most elegant and beautiful in Moscow. The cemetery in the monastery is the burial place of the upper echelons of the church and the royal family. Writers Gogol and Chekhov are buried here.

The new abbey is also a very important scene, this abbey is also a beautiful building, in the period of Tsar Russia is a very important abbey, the huge hall can see a lot of things, visitors a lot.
Moscow "New Sacred Convent" was selected as the World Heritage Site. It was built in the 16th century and located on the Bank of Moscow River. It is the most elegant and graceful monastery in Russia. Walking in the monastery, it feels very beautiful. The surrounding scenery is very, very beautiful, and there are few tourists.
Almost all the shelves were built and repaired when they went. There were three big girls selling tickets. Open, open, open, and the rest were closed. When I bought the ticket, I turned it over with a translator. The foreigner was 300 rubles and the student was 100. The elder sister saw me carrying my shoulders on my back, so she said student saved 200.
The four scenic spots of New Saint Convent, New Saint Cemetery, Moscow University and Sparrow Hill are not far from each other. They are all along Metro Line 1. Among them, the new Abbey and the new cemetery can be visited together, located in the southwest of Moscow, which is part of a series of monasteries built into Moscow's defense system. The monastery is directly related to the political, cultural and religious history of Russia and closely linked to the Kremlin in Moscow for the use of women of the Saudi Royal and noble races. Members and descendants of the Sha royal family were also buried in the monastery's cemetery. The interior of the monastery is magnificently decorated and collects important paintings. It is a model of Russia's highest architectural achievement.

I haven't seen the nuns, but the nuns are so beautiful.
Moscow came last. Never thought of memorizing the name of the monastery. However, there is a place where celebrities are buried behind it. After we came out, we were taken to the subway station by the big wolf dog which was suspected to be kept in the monastery. The dog's fur was very thick and beautiful. Then he turned to GUM for lunch and cheap and delicious strawberry ice cream.
I didn't plan to see this. When I visited the New Saint Lady Cemetery, I saw this and got to know it by the way. In fact, the monastery's architecture is very distinctive, giving people a very elegant and cool feeling, probably also affected by the cemetery. But it does not seem to be open to the outside world. It can only be seen from the outside.
