dc.description | Cathedral of the Virgin of Smolensk, context view, with the Prokhorov Chapel in view before the church, as seen looking west from the Gate Church of the Intercession with gardens at right; Novodevichy Convent is probably the best-known cloister of Moscow. Its name, sometimes translated as the New Maidens' Monastery, was devised to differ from an ancient maidens' convent in the Moscow Kremlin. Unlike other Moscow cloisters, it has remained virtually intact since the 17th century. In 2004, it was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built as a fortress at a curve of the Moskva River and became an important part of the southern defensive belt of the capital, which had already included a number of other monasteries.
