Ганина Яма Monastery

After the Tsar and family were killed, their bodies were buried outside of Ekaterinburg in a well in the middle of the forest. Today this site has been turned into a monastery by the Russian Orthodox Church. It's name is Ganina Yama. The site is very serene and peaceful and all sound is lost in the middle of the birch forest.

  1. Ganina Yama is beautiful. It's hard though to tell though which is the front, back, and side and if it's wide from one view but skinny from another. Also it looks like they're still building onto it. So this is where Anastasia is buried!
