Saint George Monastery, Orthodox monastery at Cape Fiolent, Sevastopol, Russia.
The Saint George Monastery complex stretches along limestone cliffs above the Black Sea, featuring multiple church buildings and terraced gardens.
Greek sailors founded the monastery in 891 after their miraculous rescue from a storm, discovering an icon of Saint George on coastal rocks.
The monastery grounds contain the Nativity Church, Saint George Church, dining hall from 1838, and memorial chapel of Metropolitan Chrysanthus from 1893.
The monastery complex includes both upper and lower sections, with the main entrance leading to a restored courtyard containing religious services facilities.
During Ottoman rule of Crimea from 1475, this monastery remained operational while other Christian buildings were converted or destroyed.
