San Francesco Monastery, Franciscan monastery in Moscow, Russia.

The monastery features a traditional Russian architectural design with a bell tower, central dome, and interior spaces dedicated to prayer and meditation.

Established in 1993, the San Francesco Monastery marked the return of Franciscan presence to Russia following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

The monastery integrates Russian Orthodox architectural elements with Franciscan traditions, creating a space that reflects both Eastern and Western Christian practices.

Visitors can attend daily prayer services, explore the monastery grounds during designated hours, and participate in educational programs about Franciscan spirituality.

The monastery maintains an extensive collection of religious texts and manuscripts that document the relationship between Russian Orthodox and Catholic traditions.
