Ivanovsky Convent, Orthodox monastery in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia.
The Ivanovsky Convent consists of stone buildings connected by covered passageways, featuring a domed katholikon within the Boulevard Ring.
First documented in 1604, the monastery served as a detention center for noble women, including Princess Tarakanova and Darya Saltykova.
This Russian Orthodox convent functions as the principal shrine dedicated to Saint John the Baptist in Moscow, maintaining religious services.
The convent houses multiple institutions, including the Moscow Oblast archives and a police academy, while remaining open for religious activities.
The monastery complex underwent reconstruction in the 1860s by architect Mikhail Bykovsky, who drew inspiration from Brunelleschi for the design.
