Before us is a reconstructed necropolis of the Savior-Andronikov Monastery. There used to be a churchyard where the warriors of the Kulikov Field were buried (their remains were brought here by Dmitry Donskoy with his squad), the Northern and Seven Years Wars, the Patriotic War of 1812, as well as monks and representatives of ancient aristocratic families (Golovins, Saltykovs, Trubetskoy, Naryshkins , Stroganovs, Volkonsky, Baratynsky, Demidovs, Tretyakovs ...). Both the dead and the repressed have found their last refuge here. Thousands of graves in 8 layers.
The necropolis was virtually completely destroyed during the Soviet era. In the period 1918-1922, one of the first concentration camps of the Cheka for the officers and political opponents of the new government, where mass executions were carried out, was located on its territory.
The site in front of the monastery of the XIV century has long been a subject of debate among historians and businessmen. But the city defenders managed to prove its cultural value and to achieve the demolition of the kebab house and the suspension of the shooting gallery that was built here.
Today, work is underway to restore the necropolis. Here it is planned, in particular, to restore the cemetery of famous nobles and generals. The project also assumes the restoration of an ancient cemetery. Part of the tombstones on it will be exact copies of the real, now stored in the museums of the city, and the other - this is found during excavations and surveys of new designs.

In the background is the Temple in the name of the Holy Grand Duke Dimitri Donskoy (Built in 2000–2015 according to the design of the architect AV Klimochkin. A modern single-domed temple with facades completed by zakomaras. Focused on buildings of the Early Moscow architecture of the 14th - early 15th centuries. Modern the building is organically combined with the architecture of the Savior-Andronikov Monastery and the Savior Cathedral.)
