A walled 16th-century convent on a bend of the Moskva, listed by UNESCO and still home to a working monastic community.
White-and-red towers around the Smolensky Cathedral, a pond outside the walls, and the famous cemetery next door.
Local tip: The adjoining cemetery has its own entrance and hours — allow an extra hour if you want to see it.
