Spaso-Jakovlevskij Monastery. Saviour on Sands Church, Orthodox monastery complex in Rostov, Russia.
The Spaso-Jakovlevskij Monastery stretches along Lake Nero with white walls, green domes, and multiple cathedral buildings in neoclassical architecture style.
Founded in 1389 by Saint Iakov of Rostov after his banishment from the town, the monastery included wooden structures until permanent stone buildings appeared in 1686.
The monastery preserves the tomb of Saint Demetrius of Rostov in its main cathedral, which attracts Orthodox pilgrims from across Russia.
