Novodevichy Convent, Moscow

Novodevichy Convent, a fortified complex southwest of the center of Moscow, was founded in 1524. When Peter the Great deposed his regent and half-sister Sofia in 1689, he banished her to the convent, where she spent the rest of her life, and was later joined by Peter's first wife after their divorce.
