Спасо-Преображенский монастырь на бору, Orthodox monastery complex in Moscow, Russia.
The Transfiguration Monastery stands within the Moscow Kremlin walls, featuring stone buildings constructed according to medieval Russian architectural traditions.
Founded in 1300 by Ivan I of Moscow, this monastery served as the first stone structure inside the Kremlin and marked the beginning of Moscow's religious development.
The monastery functioned as a central religious institution where monks created manuscripts and maintained extensive theological libraries for Orthodox scholarship.
The monastery site contains multiple chapels, living quarters for monks, and storage facilities built in a systematic layout following Orthodox architectural principles.
The monastery's position near the Moscow River provided natural protection and allowed monks to maintain water supply systems for the entire Kremlin area.
