Zadonsk, Religious settlement on Don River bank in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia.
Located 92 kilometers southwest of Lipetsk, Zadonsk extends across the left bank of the Don River at 140 meters above sea level.
The settlement emerged in 1615 near the walls of Zadonsky monastery, which monks from Moscow's Sretensky Monastery established five years earlier.
The Zadonsky Rozhdestvo-Bogoroditsky Monastery contains the burial site of Saint Tikhon, drawing numerous pilgrims from across Russia to this spiritual center.
The town maintains direct transport connections with Lipetsk and Moscow, while offering accommodations near the monastery for religious visitors throughout the year.
The town received its current name from its position beyond the Don River, replacing its original designation of Teshevka in the 18th century.
