Another brilliant Orthodox monastery, in the center of the city. A real oasis, with a big temple of unique beauty. A perfect place for praying...

The new church of martyrs and confessors is a "must go" in Moscow. Has one advantage over Christ the Savior, you can take pics. Beautiful place and no far from the metro station. Woman please don't forget this is a religious place, don't use miniskirts or shorts and you must cover your head.

A place that inspires silence and introspection even, indeed, when one is an atheist ... The serenity and the energy that this monastery hides from the tumult Muscovite clear are really worth seeing

Beautifully built new monastery, beautiful artwork and paintings on all of the walls and ceilings.

The best and the most beautifully place in the downtown. Monastery and the New Cathedral are the perl of the district. And the Garden inside the Monastery is just great. Astonishing. The one minus is the lack of parking spot (its Moscow Downtown dears). You can register for the Excursion where the highly experienced tourist guide will tell you all the story and religious heritage if the place. Besides you can visit book store, Jewelry store and get some traditional Russian food in the Cafe, located there.

A real place of faith and prayer

The renovated church has beautifully made frescos worth seeing ,but the older church spirit , smell of cuddle wax and mystical ambiance is unique ! I would love to be able to attend a sunday ceremony . Unfortunately I had no time as my departure was 2 days before ...
