A small private chapel in the Novodevichy Monastery, which is also very pretty in the spring.

About this place:

The Novodevichy Monastery was founded in 1524. Novodevichy translates as "new maiden", and over the centuries, this monastery was home to numerous royal women - many of whom were sequestered there against their wills. The monastery contains a variety of beautiful churches and cathedrals, and is one of the most scenic sites of Moscow. (It is also located directly next door to the Novodevichy Cemetery.)
