Place to see: Sergiev Posad Trinity Monastery, Sergiyev Posad, Russia
Sergiev Posad Trinity Monastery
Founded in 1345, this is quite possibly the most beautiful monastery in Russia. Don't miss the opportunity to take a few photographs of the monastery in its entirety from atop a nearby overlook.
About this place:
Founded in 1345, the Sergiev Posad Trinity Monastery (also called the The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius), located in the small community of Sergiev Posad (formerly Zagorsk), approximately one and a half hours outside of Moscow by train is one of the most beautiful monasteries in all of Russia. Entrance to the monastery is free, but you must pay a small fee to bring in your camera - and it is well worth it!
