Alexandrovsky Convent, Suzdal
Александровский монастырь
A small convent on a hilltop, said to have been founded by Alexander Nevsky, with views over the Kamenka River valley.
The convent is traditionally dated to the 13th century. Its surviving structures include a 17th-century Ascension Church and a distinctive octagonal tent-roofed bell tower, all small and finely crafted. The complex sits on a rise overlooking the meadow and the Intercession Convent opposite, and it is a favorite spot for photographers. Few visitors come here, and entry is free. It lies east of the main street, about a 5-minute walk from the Saviour Monastery.
