Convent of Saint Euphrosyne in Polack, Orthodox monastery in Polotsk, Belarus.
The convent includes the Transfiguration Church, Holy Cross Cathedral, and multiple religious buildings along the Polota River banks.
Princess Predslava established the convent in 1125, later becoming Saint Euphrosyne and dedicating her life to education and religious manuscript copying.
