Pokrovsky nunnery, Suzdal, Russia.
This monastery was founded in 1364, but the original walls and cathedrals are not there anymore. This convent was the place where Russian tsars would send noble women, with whom they had bad relationship. Especially, this convent was popular among the first wives of Russian emperors: the first wife of Vasily III was imprisoned here, later Peter the Great put his first wife Evdokiya Lopukhina here.
In front of Pokrovsky monastery there's a very nice green field next to Kamenka river.
