  Savveno-Storozhevoi monastery  
 

Savveno-Storozhevoi monastery at Zvenigorod west of Moscow - view of the right half of the women's Terem palace - 1655's, taken on a very rainy day. This monastery was a favorite place of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and his family. The tsarena and her court ladies has this special palace separate from the monk's quarters. The inside is now restored as a fine museum.
