Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery at Lake Nero, Rostov, Russia
The monastery includes three main churches with the oldest being the Cathedral of the Conception, featuring preserved frescoes from 1689 within its walls.
Bishop Jacob of Rostov established the monastery in 1389 after building a wooden church dedicated to the Conception of the Virgin Mary.
The monastery holds silver-plated relics of Saint Dimitri of Rostov and maintains a collection of religious paintings created through enamel techniques.
The monastery complex allows visitors to explore multiple buildings, including two cathedrals and residential quarters connected by paths along stone walls.
The monastery towers display an unusual architectural combination, incorporating classical Russian style with Gothic elements added in the early 1800s.
