Transfiguration of the Savoir Monastery

Yaroslavl, Centre, Russia

Because of its powerful walls the Spaso-Preobrazhensky (Transfiguration of the Savior ) Monastery, laid down in 1216, was used as the acropolis and center of defense. Since that time the monastery also housed the treasury. Now it is the most interesting sight of Yaroslavl
