The wall of the Novodevichy Monastery
Detailed description
The Novodevichy Monastery is located on the left bank of the Moskva River. It was founded in honor of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God "Odigitria". The monastery housed the residence of the Metropolitan of Krutitsky and Kolomna until 2021. Of all the buildings of the monastery, the walls and towers are the most famous. There is a belief that the walls of the monastery had magical powers, because Tsarevna Sophia (sister of Peter I), imprisoned in the tower, suffered while living there. Since that time, everyone who wants to be cured of diseases, find peace, and bring back happiness wants to come here. And in order for a wish to come true, you just need to lean against the walls of the tower and say it. The attraction can be reached both by car along the TTK to Luzhnetsky Passage, and by public transport.
