Novodevichy Convent, also known as Bogoroditse-Smolensky Monastery, is probably the best-known cloister in Moscow. Its name, sometimes translated as the New Maidens’ Monastery, was devised to differ from an ancient maidens’ convent within 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. The oldest structure in the convent is the six-pillared five-domed cathedral, dedicated to the icon Our Lady of Smolensk. Documents date its construction to 1524–1525 though the consensus is that this Russian cathedral building was rebuilt in the 1550s or 1560s.
