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. The guide through the caves himself, as if from the other world - a thin, long, strict, but very energetic man - tells as if some of the chapters are myrrh-streaming.
In the summer heat, dress warmly, it is very cold downstairs. You can drive up from below (from Druzhby Narodov Blvd. ) only by jeep. And if you are traveling with Bastion, then it is easy to get lost and climb high. Nevertheless, I advise you to walk to the monastery on foot, looking at the mansions on the slopes along the way, of course, where the fences allow : -)
