Avraamiev Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Rostov, Russia
The Epiphany Cathedral stands as the central structure of the monastery complex, featuring multiple altars and traditional Russian architectural elements.
The monastery, established in the late 11th century by St Abraham of Rostov, received substantial donations from Tsar Ivan the Terrible before his conquest of Kazan.
The monastery complex includes St Nicholas Gate-Church, completed in 1684, which formerly served as the main entrance within the original monastery walls.
The monastery functions both as an active religious center and a museum, offering visitors access to religious services and historical exhibitions throughout the year.
According to regional records, the monastery stands on the location where St John the Apostle instructed Abraham to demolish a pagan idol and build a church.
