"Sergiyevo Posadsky District, Moscow Oblast, Russia"

"UNESCO World Heritage Trinity-St. Sergius was founded as a monastery between 1337 and 1340 by the Russian monk and mystic Sergius of Radonezh. It remains today the spiritual center of Russian Orthodox Christianity, with bearded Sergius monks in their flowing black robes and distinctive "Klobuk" headgear milling from church to seminary to refectory. At first sight, the seemingly impregnable 40-foot- (12-m-) high walls punctuated by towers suggest military might rather than peaceful pilgrimage. This is exactly what Ivan the Terrible wanted to achieve when he turned the monastery into a massive fortress in the sixteenth century. It withstood a sixteen-month siege of Polish and Lithuanian troops in the early 1600s. Trinity-St. Sergius Monastery (also known as the Holy Trinity Lavra) lies some 45 miles (75 km) northeast of Moscow and comprises a hotchpotch of Russian vernacular architecture in its thirty-plus buildings and towers. At its heart stand not one but two beautiful cathedrals. The Cathedral of the Assumption is recognized immediately by its four gorgeous blue onion domes patterned with golden stars. It was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible and took twenty-eight years to complete. The lofty interior was painted in just one hundred days by students of the acclaimed Yaroslavi school of artists led by Dmitriy Griorev in 1684. Their names are inscribed beneath a fresco of the Last Judgment on the west wall. Outside the west door is the grave of Tsar Boris Godunov, the only tsar buried outside Moscow or St. Petersburg (his skull is missing, apparently). The Holy Trinity Cathedral was built in 1422 and the holy relics of St. Sergius were discovered miraculously intact during its construction. The building is distinguished by its gleaming white exterior and gold-topped domes (semicircular or shaped like a cross section of an onion)."
