Iverskaya Chapel in Moscow, Orthodox chapel at Red Square entrance, Moscow, Russia.
The brick Iverskaya Chapel features a star-studded dome and stands between Red Square and Manezhnaya Square at the Resurrection Gate entrance.
Following its initial construction in 1669, the wooden chapel was replaced by a stone structure in 1781, designed by the Nikolo-Perervinsky Monastery.
The chapel contains a replica of the Panaghia Portaitissa icon from Mount Athos, drawing numerous Orthodox Christian visitors for prayer and reflection.
The chapel opens daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and can be reached from Teatralnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, or Okhotny Ryad metro stations.
During the Soviet period, authorities demolished the chapel in 1931 to facilitate military parades, but it returned through reconstruction between 1994 and 1995.
