Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Vologda, Russia

Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery is a walled Orthodox monastery on the Vologda River at Priluki. Its rectangular perimeter, completed in 1656, has four corner towers and three gates, the main one on the north side with the gate Resurrection Church. Inside, the five-domed Transfiguration Cathedral (1537–1542) stands at the centre, connected by a covered passageway to the Presentation Church; the bell tower was built between 1639 and 1654.

The monastery was established in 1371 when Saint Demetrius of Priluki founded it with backing from Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy. Over the following centuries the complex grew into an important center of monastic life in northwestern Russia.

The monastery displays northern Russian Orthodox design through its five-domed cathedral and wooden church, which together define the religious character of the place. These buildings remain active centers of worship where monks and pilgrims gather for services and prayer.

The monastery stands in Priluki on the bank of the Vologda River, now within the city limits since 1993. The main entrance is through the northern wall gate, which holds the gate Resurrection Church; a second gate in the western wall opens toward the river. The southern gate is no longer in use.

The monastery keeps the Cilician ivory cross before which Ivan the Terrible is said to have prayed before his 1552 campaign against Kazan. In 1812, during the French invasion, church treasures hastily evacuated from Moscow were stored in the katholikon, which was still damaged from the 1811 fire.
