Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin of Derbent

The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin (Russian: Церковь Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, romanized: Tserkov Pokrova Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy) is an Orthodox church in Derbent, a city in the Russian republic of Dagestan.

For these purposes, donations were collected and a plot of land in the city center was purchased.

In 1901, an altar was arranged at the school, and it turned into a church-school, which on October 1, 1901 was consecrated by Bishop Vladimir (Sinkovsky) of Vladikavkaz.

On October 14, 2009, Bishop Alexander (Ishchein) of Diocese of Baku and Azerbaijan performed the rite of the consecration of the restored church.
