Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery in Rostov

Description

Monastery of St. Jacob Saviour is an Eastern Orthodox monastery situated to the left from the Rostov kremlin on the Rostov's outskirts.

Monastery was founded in the 14th century by St Iakov of Rostov.

The earliest kept building of a monastery is Cathedral of Conception of St Anna (Zachatievsky Cathedral). It has been constructed in 1686.

An exceptionally beautiful place to both believers and tourists. The beauty and tranquility characteristic of the Spaso-Yakovlevskogo monastery.

Baroque does not fit into the image of ancient Russian city. Very pathetic and terribly flawed trade around the monastery and the desire to rip off an extra penny inside it. Grace quiet abode and does not smell. But pleased with the cleanliness and grooming, as in Europe, which contrasts with the adjacent streets.
