Troitsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Smolensk, Russia

The Troitsky Monastery complex includes multiple stone buildings and churches situated along the northern perimeter of Smolensk's historical district.

The monastery's foundation in the 12th century marked the beginning of a significant religious center that later endured the Polish-Lithuanian siege from 1608 to 1610.

The monastery preserves Russian Orthodox traditions through regular services, religious ceremonies, and maintains a collection of religious artifacts and manuscripts.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in Russian through the monastery's administration office.

The monastery's defensive walls incorporated innovative military engineering techniques that helped repel multiple assaults during the Time of Troubles.
