Iversky Convent
Иверский монастырь
An Orthodox convent beside the Zhiguli Brewery, with gold-domed churches and white walls overlooking the Volga, quiet and peaceful.
The Iversky Convent was founded in 1850 and is one of Samara's oldest monasteries. During the Soviet era, most of its buildings were demolished or repurposed. In the 1990s religious activity resumed, and the main church and bell tower were rebuilt. The convent sits on the high Volga bank, separated from the Zhiguli Brewery only by a wall, and offers views over the river. Admission is free. Women should wear headscarves and skirts below the knee, and loud noise is not allowed in the grounds.
