Monastery at Ganina Yama, Orthodox monastery near Yekaterinburg, Russia
The monastery complex contains seven individual chapels constructed with wooden architecture, featuring green roofs and golden domes near Ganina Yama mine.
Following the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, their bodies were initially transported to this location for burial in a mine shaft.
Each chapel within the monastery serves as a dedication to individual members of the Romanov family, representing their transformation from rulers to religious martyrs.
The monastery welcomes visitors daily and can be reached by taking a 15-kilometer journey north from Yekaterinburg through organized tours or private transport.
The grounds contain the exact spot where the Romanov remains rested temporarily, marked by a memorial cross surrounded by planted lily flowers.
