Cave Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:48:43

The most startling sight in the Orheiul Vechi (Old Orhei) open-air historical complex is this monastery dug into a cave, dating from as far back as the 13th century and possibly earlier. It's inhabited by a handful of monks, who hold services throughout the day. Entry is through a small bricked archway at the top of the ridge.
