The most beautiful religious buildings Anneau d'Or russe

This elegant mosque is a survivor of the anti-religious campaigns (there were only two left in Moscow in 1990, for 80 million Muslims in the USSR). It is in the heart of the former Tatar quarter (as the names of the streets around it indicate). Integrated into the Russian Empire, the Tatars were present in Moscow, especially in trade. In the 20th century, they were persecuted and apart from the mosque, this district has nothing Tatar anymore. During Eid and Navrouz (Persian New Year), the whole street of the mosque is covered with carpets and worshippers.

This church behind the Red Square has a unique historical importance that is not apparent in its simple architecture and dark church. It was created within the monastery founded by Boris Godunov in 1600, before being in the eighteenth century, the breeding ground for Enlightenment education in Russia. The monastery served as the only academy in the country for the study of Latin and Greek before the creation of the Lomonosov University by one of its former students.

Before your visit to the main building of the Tretyakov Gallery, take a few minutes to enjoy the Baroque meditation of this church (Церковь Кли́мента), built in the 17th century, which is the heart of the district. It is a very popular church, where the locals go to meditate before going to work or going out in the evening, especially to listen to beautiful singing during mass. Saint Clement is highly respected and is prayed for the health of the children, the reunification of families and the return of parents.

On the right of the Église church, there is a part of the monastery belonging to the seminar, which can only be entered with a special invitation. This part also includes a church and the Academy of Theology.

Both are fully restored. The church is dedicated to the holy fathers of a monastery, in the islands of Solovki, with which the Laure maintained relations. This is the only one of the monastery of pyramid form.
