Inside the monastery at Suzdal Russia. Remember, this monastery is very old. In the 12th century Suzdal was the capital of Rostov-Suzdal Principality. Yury Dolgoruky the first Suzdal prince in 1147 founded the city of Moscow. In the 14th century Suzdal became a religious center when the brick Archbishop’s Chambers (the residence of Suzdal clergy of higher orders), the monasteries and other ensembles that still remain in Suzdal were built. Starting in the 16th century the monasteries of Suzdal were used as prisons for religious and political freethinkers and for some of the Great Russian princesses.
