Monastery of Saint Euthymius in Suzdal
Description
Frescoes inside the Transfiguration Cathedral
The Saviour Monastery of St. Euthymius is a monastery in Suzdal, Russia.
The monastery was founded in the 14th century, and grew in importance in the 16th and 17th centuries after donations by Vasili III, Ivan IV and the Pozharsky family, a noble dynasty of the region. Among the buildings erected during this period were the Assumption Church, the bell tower, the surrounding walls and towers, and the seven-domed Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Saviour. The cathedral was built in the style of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir-Suzdal. Its interior contains restored frescoes by the school of Gury Nikitin of Kostroma, dating from 1689. The tomb of Dmitry Pozharsky lies by the cathedral wall.
The monastery also contains a prison, built in 1764, which originally housed religious dissidents. The prison continued in use during the Soviet period, and among its better known prisoners was field marshal Friedrich Paulus, who was incarcerated here for a time after his surrender at Stalingrad. The prison now houses a museum about the monastery's military history.

Very beautiful, interesting. Beautiful exposition, we can say that this is "Armory", by analogy with the Moscow Armory has everything from icons and ending with the things of the 20th century.
I advise everyone to go there!!

The ensemble of Spaso - evfimiev monastery.
Lenina 135k8, Suzdal, Vladimir region, Russia, 601291
Stands on a high Bank of the Kamenka river (see photos).
Oh Yes, it is worth attention, only allocate at least 2 hours on his inspection, half an hour to run here, it makes no sense. I went 4 hours, and those are not enough :0)!
TIP - visit all the museums of St. Euthymius monastery, and each has something to see.
ADVICE - listen "live" bell ringing every hour the bell-ringer throws a little, for 5 minutes, a concert of bell music.
ADVICE - drop in all available secluded places and climb on all possible steps and transitions - will be rewarded with marvelous views of the Suzdal and the monastery and will be able to make cool pictures

Among all the monasteries and churches a visit to the Spaso-Efimievski took 4 hours. Well-restored. Many exhibitions and interesting, and not very much.
Take a ticket to the bell tower, 1 tour per day for 10 people. Beginning at 11:00-11:30 in the morning!
Right after you log in, a wonderful Creperie where you can eat and eat. Simple and tasty food for real money.

Great place, full of history that goes from the ancient beginnings of Russia and the Mongol invasion to the WW2 where the monastery served as a camp for Italian soldiers, also served as a political prison for Stalin. This is the place to come and see if you're in Suzdal.

Huge place, awesome, so much history and a really cool herb garden. Did you know General Paulus was held here during WW2?!
