Suzdal.Pokrovsky monastery/ Суздаль.Покровский м-р (2007) Pittura da Slankowski

The Pokrovsky monastery in Suzdal is a small but magnificent Orthodox shrine, the snow-white walls of which rise on the gentle bank of the Kamenka River in the northern part of the city. The main buildings of the complex were laid more than 650 years ago, but until today, none of them has been preserved in its original form. For many centuries, the monastery served as a prison for women of noble families, forcibly tonsured by a nun. The difficult fate of the Pokrovsky monastery is inextricably linked with Russian history and is surrounded by legends.
