Description
The Mirozhsky Monastery is a 12th-century Russian Orthodox monastery complex in Pskov, famous for its frescoes, located in the Christ's Transfiguration Cathedral. The monastery is located on the left bank of the Velikaya River, at the place where it meets the Mirozhka River that gave the name to the monastery. The Transfiguration Cathedral is a prototype of Byzantine architecture and has no parallel. It is one of the two pre-Mongol buildings which survived in Pskov, and contains the frescoes of the 12th century. The monastery complex also include St. Stephan's Church (17th century), Bell-tower, Prior’s house, and cells.
