Easy to find in the middle of town with a tower (costs but not much... and mid your head on the way up) with a nice river beside it and nice grounds and old architecture.

The architectural ensemble of the monastery is one of the most important creations of the Russian artistic culture. The whole medieval town stretches out on the shore of the magnificent Siverskoye Lake. On the territory of 12 hectares there are 11 stone churches of the 15th-18th centuries, numerous service structures surrounded with walls and towers of “The Great Fortress of the Tsar”.

Like other reviewers I arrived by cruise ship but we were allowed plenty of time to be guided around and to explore on our own. We could even return to the dock on any of the regular shuttle buses they had organised. The Kirillo-Belozerki Monastery is now a museum incorporating cathedrals with frescoes, a lacework exhibition and a large collection of icons. The buildings in themselves are breathtaking allowing for their age and state of restoration.
