Must See Ukraine - Caves Monastery

Rolling across 28 hectares (69 acres) of wooded slopes, the Caves Monastery is the Ukraine's spiritual heart. Highlights include the striking early-12th-century Trinity Gate Church; the Refectory Church of SS Anthony & Theodosius, which sports the monastery's famous gold-striped dome; and the Nearer Caves, with dozens of niches containing glass-topped coffins holding mummified monks' bodies.
