The Savior-Transfiguration Monastery of Yaroslavl

Yaroslavl was founded in 1010 and in the 17th Century was Russia's second largest city
The Monastery was also used as a fortress
A midlevel set of bells within minutes to chime 

With a building almost 800 years old......any window is great!
The bell toll for thee (lol) when I heard I could climb the steps to the top, lets go..... but not for everybody who is afraid of heights
The Monastery was founded in the 12th century and by the 18th century was the residence of the local archbishop

I am guessing approximately 200 steps to my quest 
On the top and looking down onto the River Kotorosl
