Георгіївський монастир, Orthodox monastery in central Moscow, Russia.
The St. George Monastery stood between Tverskaya Street and Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street, featuring three churches within its walled compound.
The monastery first appeared in historical records through a 1503 document from Prince Ivan Borisovich of Ruza, confirming its existence by 1498.
The monastery grounds contained burial sites for members of prominent Moscow noble families, including the Velyaminov, Kleshnenov, and Kokorev dynasties.
The buildings of former monastic cells remain visible today along Georgievsky Lane and Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street in central Moscow.
Archaeological excavations in 1949 during school construction revealed an extensive collection of Moscow tombstones dating from the 16th to 18th centuries.
