Novospassky Monastery

I guess the real beauty of the area became "feelable" now, when walking is a rare luxury and Covid makes you stay home.

Meraviglioso. Come uno dei monasteriumi al Athos, Grecia. Замечательное место, как будто побывал на Афоне. Wonderful place. If someone ever been to Holy Mountain Peninsula, or the opposite, never been there, Moscow Novospasskiy is the best place to breath a spirit of orthodox monastery.

A very beautiful monastery. No English signs. Women must wear a head cover like a scarf and long skirt cover if wearing pants or short skirt. Must also have sleeves or cover for arms. These are required to enter the monastery for prayers. No photos allowed. A very sacred place for Russians.

I loved the old battlements surrounding the monastary. Inside is very different to other churches. Worth the visit.

Amazing place with an amazing genuinely holy atmosphere. Highly recommended to visit. You can easily spend there half of a day walking around, listening to church chants, eating in a church cafe and walking round church shops.
