ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST MONASTERY
Monastery with several caves dug out and occupied by monks, offering a magnificent panorama of the steppes on the horizon.
The monastery can be seen from afar. Dating from the 6th century, it counted 10,000 monks at its peak. Nowadays, a few caves dug into the rock are still occupied by a dozen monks. You can ask one of them to visit the small church. He will gladly accept if you do so in silence. The interior is decorated with icons, installed in small openings dug in the walls. The monastery offers a magnificent panorama of the steppes on the horizon.
