Pechori monastery

From Medieval times until the present day, the Pechori Monastery has been an important spiritual center of NW Russia.

In the city of Pskov, the Kremlin is nestled over the high bank of the Velikaya River.

The bleak look of the surrounding walls
hides a jewel box of colorful buildings.

Underground, a monastic cemetery in caves formed by an underground river a millenium ago.
