when Moscow hides a beauty around the corner

#hellohalloween

You’re walking down Tverskaya — Moscow’s busiest street.
Taxis rush past, phones buzz, neon signs glow.
And then… you turn into an archway.
And time stops.

📍 Tverskaya, 6 — not an office. Not a shop.
This is the Podvorye of the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, one of the holiest sites in the Moscow region.
And yes — it exists right here, in the heart of the city, beyond the rush.

Here, the design is entirely different.
Not baroque, not modern — but the quiet power of Russian Orthodox architecture:
— pale brick, darkened by rain;
— arches framed by simplicity;
— wooden gates with forged crosses;
— silence you can feel through your soles.

Inside — two courtyards with wells, like two hearts beating in unison.
The first courtyard — open, with benches and ancient trees.
The second — hidden, almost secret, with a stone well where monks once kept holy water.
Legend says you can still draw water from the same spring the pilgrims used 200 years ago.

📍 Tverskaya, 6 — come here.
Not for the photo.
But to feel: Moscow remembers itself.
