12사도 사원(The Patriarch's Palace and The Twelve Apostles' Church)

Southern facade. 남부 외관


5개의 아름다운 돔이 은으로 덮혀 이목을 사로잡는 이 건물은 1655년 건축된 것으로 

1681년에 이르러서야 12사도 사원이라는 공식 명칭이 붙게 되었다. 

오랜 시간 동안 러시아 정교회 건물로서 종교행사를 위한 목적으로 사용되어 왔으나 러시아의 관광자원 개발에 따라 

1963년부터 그 용도를 바꿔 응용미술, 보석, 가구 등을 전시하는 전시관으로 그 역할을 해내고 있다. 

특히 17세기의 응용미술 작품은 700점 이상 전시되어 가장 인기있는 전시품목이 되었다.
