Photographer’s Note
After the destruction by the Tatar, written records confirm that the monastery was reopened by 1496. Soon afterward it began to be known as Saint Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, its name being taken from the church built by Sviatopolk II Iziaslavych. Restored and enlarged over the 16th century, it gradually became one of the most popular and wealthy monasteries in Ukraine.
