👍👍 Quiet, very calm and beautiful place. Entrance to the territory is free. There are few visitors. On the territory of the monastery there is an interesting museum of ancient Russian culture and art named after. Andrey Rublev. The museum is located on four floors in the former Church of Michael the Ar...

👍👍 На подворье набрела случайно, но уже есть традиция, всегда в сумочке иметь платок, куда бы я не шла в Москве, чтоб можно было зайти в такие вот замечательные места! Прочитала, что роспись стен восстановлена из оригинальной, закрашенной при советской власти штукатуркой: роспись очень красивая! Хочу п...

👍👍 Near Oktyabrskaya metro station. In the center, but at the same time beautiful, cozy and secluded. There is a beautiful iconostasis inside. There is an icon of John the Warrior, Nicholas the Wonderworker helping and protecting people. There is a beautiful garden in the yard, trees and benches. Farm...

👍👍 Now I know a little more about this church. It is notable for 2 facts: the bell tower has a slope, for which it is called our Leaning Tower of Pisa. Go into the yard, behind the fence, and you will see confirmation of this (or look at my photo). And the second interesting fact can be seen to the ri...

👍👍 A very beautiful temple on Nikoloyamskaya Street. The first stone church appeared on this site in 1722, but was destroyed during a fire in the War of 1812. The current building was built in 1818. The rich interior decoration of the temple is due to its proximity to one of the largest Moscow Old Beli...

You can come completely freely during services; the schedule is on the website. To pray before the Holy miraculous image of the intercessor of...

Pink-&-white 1993 replica of a destroyed 1600s Russian Orthodox church, topped with golden domes.

👍👍 An unusually sacred place (since the 14th century!), very beautiful inside, good choir. And the priests here are sensitive, attentive, responsive, smart, thoughtful, very sincere, they will never reproach, never push away, they will listen, support, and help with advice! This is the most amazing tem...

Small Orthodox chapel set between 2 of the main gateways to Red Square, rebuilt in 1995.

👍👍 The Church of the Conception of Righteous Anna, in the corner, in Zaryadye, was built no earlier than 1547 from white stone with brick vaults. We do not know the time when the church was founded on this site; the first written mention of a wooden church dates back to 1493, when the old wooden church...

😠 I went on Sunday hoping to see the frescoes. It wasn’t easy to get there, but I won’t describe the route, there’s no point in that. Entering the temple, I immediately realized that I would not be able to see the frescoes - it was dark in the temple. The light falls only through two windows, one wall...

👍👍 I first learned about this place about 5 years ago and was very surprised that I had never heard of it before. The Krutitsa courtyard is an extraordinary ancient place. You can spend a lot of time here, some peace and tranquility. The temple itself is unusual and very beautiful. The small old street...
