The caves of the monastery were known as early as the 11th century, but then were destroyed by the Polovtsians. At the end of the 19th century, they were rediscovered and soon a monastery was founded here.

The newly built monastery was tucked between huge private mansions on Michurin Street. To my shame, I did not know that the monastery was built near the famous caves that have existed for a millennium. Since 2006, new buildings of the monastery have been built around them. The design is controversial, but impressive. There are practically no outsiders and "tourists" - women in headscarves, men, if not in a cassock, then it is definitely clear from the face that they are monks. There are many artifacts, bones, inscriptions, skulls in the caves.
