Novodevichy Cemetery is the most famous cemetery in Moscow, Russia, situated next to the World Heritage Site, the 16th-century Novodevichy Convent, which is the city’s third most popular tourist site.
Novodevichy Cemetery, Moscow
It should not be confused with the Novodevichy Cemetery in Saint Petersburg. The cemetery was inaugurated in 1898, when it was judged that there were too many burials within monastery walls. One of the first notables to be buried there was Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, whose gilded tomb is the work of Fyodor Shekhtel. Today, the cemetery holds the tombs of Russian authors, musicians, playwrights, and poets, as well as famous actors, political leaders, and scientists. More than 27,000 are buried at Novodevichy. It has a park-like ambiance, dotted with small chapels and large sculpted monuments. It is divided into an eastern and western section; maps are available at the cemetery office.
