The square received its name through a royal decree in 1685 from the nearby Novodevichy Monastery. This connection to the religious site shaped its identity for centuries.
The square contains notable monuments dedicated to Leo Tolstoy and Nil Filatov, a pioneer of pediatric medicine in Russia.
Access is easiest via Frunzenskaya metro station with multiple entrances distributed around the square and connections to various public transport options. The open layout makes navigation straightforward and allows flexible route planning.
A fountain on the square functions as a ventilation kiosk for underground communications of the Frunze Military Academy. This structure blends everyday public use with hidden technical infrastructure.
