Yelizarov Convent, Orthodox monastery in Pskovsky District, Russia
Located north of Pskov, the Yelizarov Convent spans across several stone buildings with the Three Holy Hierarchs Cathedral as its central structure.
Founded in 1447 by Eleazar, a local peasant who became a monk, the monastery started with a wooden church and later expanded into a fortified complex.
The monastery developed a notable school of icon painting in the 16th century under the guidance of hegumen Philotheus, who wrote religious texts.
Visitors can access the monastery through the road leading from Pskov to Gdov, with regular tours available during religious service hours.
The monastery holds the distinction of potentially housing the creation of the only known copy of the medieval epic Lay of Igor's Campaign.
