This is a private church of the metropolitans and patriarchs of Moscow and all the Russia. The architecture is influenced by Muscovite and Pskovian traditions. Inside it does feel small and cozy as a private church should be I guess. I loved the murals and iconostasis. You are not allowed to take photos here but I snapped a few :)

One of the most honoured of Moscow's holy places, the chapel and gates were taken down in the 1930s and rebuilt in the 1990s.

In 1931, the Resurrection Gate was demolished, together with almost the entire Kitai-gorod Wall, as part of the urban street widening project to allow for the military parades of the Soviet. The Gate and the Chapel were rebuilt in 1995. Historically, the Resurrection Gate was one of the gates in the Kitai-Gorod wall which was reputed to be the greatest fortification of ancient Moscow. Right in front of the gate there is the Kilometer Zero sign "Nulevogo kilometra" – this is the centre of Moscow and the starting point for measuring all distances in Russia.

Unique antic church was built at 1628-1658. Rich decoration shows Russian architecture style.Inside you can find chandeliers donated by Tzar. As many churches it survived in many fires. However not many churches survived over Soviet period. This one was closed as church but was used as museum ground. Interesting place for visiting and for understanding our history.

I always liked this monastery. I visited it often because I lived nearby. By Kozitsky lane I came unto the Bolshaya Dmitrovka, just across was the perpendicular street, named after known actor Moskvin (currently, Petrovsky lane) with the house in which lived the poet Esenin, and from there, a little ahead and obliquely, was already seen the entrance to the monastery. Especially strong impression was made by the central, having no any resemblances to some other, the Cathedral of Peter the Metropolitan, although visually it is almost the smallest in the complex of the monastery, and the Bogolyubskaya church, with more traditional appearance, to the left of the first. The importance of the Cathedral is well evidenced by the fact that the whole area around it from the very beginning was bearing its name - Petrovka street, Petrovsky Boulevard, and now Petrovsky lane. Now it looks much more elegant, because the restoration is almost complete, and even in the Bogolyubskaya church the services are held
