Novodevichy Cemetery
Novodevichy Cemetery, Federal heritage cemetery on Moskovsky Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Novodevichy Cemetery extends across a large area near the Moscow Triumphal Gate, featuring numerous marble monuments and iron-cast decorative elements throughout its grounds.
Following its establishment in 1845 alongside the Resurrection Convent, the cemetery became the second most important burial site in Saint Petersburg after Tikhvin Cemetery.
The cemetery holds the remains of poets Nikolay Nekrasov and Fyodor Tyutchev, painter Mikhail Vrubel, and composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov among other notable figures.
Visitors can access the cemetery through the Moskovskie Vorota metro station, with entrance at 100 Moskovsky Prospekt, where maps indicate locations of significant graves.
The cemetery includes the Church of Our Lady of Kazan, constructed in 1912 in neo-Byzantine style, containing a crypt with 500 burial chambers beneath.
