Abstract
The article discusses the issue of the appearance of the tent architecture in Russian art of building. Analysis of miniatures of Litsevoy letopisnyy svod (Illuminated Compiled Chronicle) of the 16th сentury allowed to reconstruct the image of the refectory of the Church of Alexis the Metropolitan, built in 1483-1485, with a tent-like top. It is suggested that it was built by an unknown Italian architect, one of those who worked at that time in Moscow and at other sites. Following the Church of Alexey from Chudov monastery, which enjoyed special attention of the Royal family in the 16th century, tent churches at refectory became common in some Russian monasteries.
