This small town near Moscow is famous, first of all, for the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, which secured the title of the capital of Russian Orthodoxy for Sergiyev Posad. Behind the high walls of the monastery are the largest Russian monastery, the Moscow Theological Academy and the Theological Seminary, the historical and architectural ensemble of churches, belfries, chambers and palaces of the 15th and 19th centuries.

The monastery was founded in the 14th century on the Makovets hill. Its founder was the spiritual instructor of the monarchs, the Monk Sergius of Radonezh, whose holy relics in the Trinity Cathedral (1422) have been the pilgrimage of the Orthodox world for many centuries. The city of Sergiev Posad was in 1782.
