In the Monastic Garden

The grounds of St. Nikola (Nicholas) monastery are one of the most prosperous sanctuaries in Preslavl-Zalessky, and are known for their well maintained walking paths and flower gardens. On this picture, you can see the monastic garden of the local churches: on the right side of the picture you can see the magestic white Nikolsky Sobor. It is the main cathedral of the monastery, which was rebuilt in 1999-2003. A bit farther away on the left, you can see the Church of Annunciation of Our Lady (1748), painted in bright yellow and green colors.
