Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra

Lavra means «monastery» and Pechersk is a name that comes from the word «pechery»
meaning «caves». You will find them when visiting the most significant monument in Kyiv.
It is the oldest Orthodox monastery in Ukraine that attracts thousands of pilgrims and many
monks. The buildings were destroyed by fire and later also during the Nazi occupation.
But people always reconstructed it. Nowadays it is a UNESCO heritage with lots of tourists
visiting it every year. The caves are small and narrow, stretching for several hundred metres
and up to 20 metres under the ground. The caves are very holy places and you have to dress
appropriately to get in, women need to cover their head with a scarf (own or borrowed or
bought on the spot). Apart from the caves you can climb up the Bell Tower for a beautiful
view, visit different churches, the Uspenskyy Cathedral, and several museums.
