Description:
The life-giving chapel of the Holy Trinity in Moscow is located on the territory of the Spaso-Andronikov monastery. It was erected in honor of the memory of Andrei Rublev in 2011 by architect Yevgeny Katyshev.
The interior of the chapel is decorated with the Florentine mosaic of the work of the Italian master Mario Antonucci “Holy Trinity”, made according to the ancient Italian technology using precious and semi-precious stones and gilding elements in exact accordance with the size of the famous “Holy Trinity” by Andrei Rublev, which is installed in the park of the Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art and is its main attraction.
Yevgeny Katyshev designed and built a rotunda chapel with upper bas-reliefs depicting the icon painter Andrei Rublev and St. Sergius of Radonezh. This chapel is made of marble and modern materials. Thanks to modern technology, the construction of the chapel took only twenty days.
The sights can be reached from the metro station “Ilyich Square” and “Rima” on foot or by trams No. 20, 43, 45 and bus No. 125 to the stop “Museum named after Andrei Rublev”.
