| Description | |
| This monastery was founded by Yuri Dolgoruki where the Danilov monastery is now. Then it was moved into the Kremlin in 1300 by Grand Prince Ivan I, Kalita on to the Borovitski hill where the Church of the Savior's Transfiguration was built. Then in 1490 the monastery was moved again, this time by Ivan III to the steep Krutitski hill by the Moscow River and on the Kolomna Road, where it became one of the defensive fortresses ringing the city. This why it became known as New- Savior's Monastery. In 1591 the fortress was attacked by the Crimean Tatars of Khazi Gerei. In 1612 Prince Pozharski and his troops swore to retake the Kremlin from the Poles. The existing fortification walls and towers date from the 17th century. The Spaso-Preobrazhensky (Transfiguration) Cathedral was built in 1640 by the Romanovs in the likness of the Assumption cathedral in the Kremlin. The Pokrovskaya (Intercession) Church dates from 1675. The Church of the Sign (Znamenia) dates from 1808. Nearby is the Krutitskoe Podvorie, the residence of the Metropolitan of Moscow from the 16th century. There is the Uspenski (Assumption) Cathedral and a fine Baroque gate tower. |
