Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God

            Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria (1746 - 1753). The territory of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, in the city of Sergiev Posad. Russia.
The Smolensk Church is the only church in the monastery that has a circular shape "with four deep curvilinear niches for the entire height of the walls." The undulating rhythm of the wall is accentuated by curved pediments, flat double pilasters and is complicated by a double strip of windows in sculpted platbands, completed with a harmonious dome and a skylight with a miniature figured head and a cross - a fine example of Elizabethan Baroque architecture, but with amazing artistic tact, inscribed in the ancient ensemble of the monastery.
On the left is the church in honor of the Monks Zosima and Savvaty of Solovetsky (1635 - 1637).
On the right is the Kalichya Tower (1759 - 1772).
