Krutitsy, Architectural complex in Taganka, Russia
The Krutitsy Patriarchal Metochion consists of multiple buildings with traditional Russian architecture and ceramic decorations on the 13th-century territory.
The residence of bishops from the Sarai-Batu Orthodox diocese was established in 1261 under the initiative of Alexander Nevsky during the Golden Horde period.
The complex became known as the House of Wisdom in the 17th century when the first scientific society started creating dictionaries and encyclopedias.
The architectural ensemble now houses the Synodal Department for Youth Affairs and operates as a museum complex in the Tagansky district of Moscow.
The Krutitsy Teremok features intricate multicolored tiles and twisted stone columns, representing rare examples of 17th-century Moscow architectural decoration.
