Danilov Monastery, Russian Orthodox monastery in Danilovsky District, Moscow, Russia
The monastery complex contains multiple churches, defensive walls with seven towers, and the Trinity Cathedral built between 1834 and 1838.
Prince Daniel of Moscow, son of Alexander Nevsky, established this monastery in the late 13th century, making it the oldest monastery in Moscow.
The monastery cemetery contained the graves of numerous Russian writers and artists until 1930, when many remains were transferred to different locations.
The monastery functions as the administrative headquarters of the Russian Orthodox Church and serves as the residence of the Patriarch of Moscow.
The monastery bells were preserved at Harvard University during the Soviet period and returned to Moscow in 2007 after significant diplomatic negotiations.
