Novodevichy Convent is probably the best-known cloister of Moscow. In 2004, it was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The oldest structure in the convent is the six-pillared five-domed Smolensky Cathedral, dedicated to the icon Our Lady of Smolensk. It is situated in the centre of the axes between the two entrance gates. Extant documents date its construction to 1524–1525.
