The Convent of Nativity of Saint John the Baptist (Russian: Ивановский монастырь) is a former Russian Orthodox nunnery in Pskov. It is notable for the katholikon, one of Russia's oldest churches, dating from the first half of the 12th century. The church is located at the city center, on the left bank of the Velikaya River, in the Zavelichye quarter. It currently belongs to Krypetsky Monastery. It is the second oldest building in Pskov after the katholikon of the Mirozhsky Monastery and was designated an architectural monument of federal significance (#6010016003).[1] The Cathedral of Ioann Predtecha is part of the Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture, which became an World Heritage Site in 2019.
