Мигулинские пещеры, Underground monastery caves in Migulinskaya, Russia
The Migulin Caves consist of two separate chalk caverns, known as Old and New caves, carved into the right bank of the Don River.
The cave system dates back approximately 600 years, with monks initially inhabiting the Old Cave before excavating the New Cave during the medieval period.
The walls of these caves contain ancient religious artifacts, including carved crosses, prayer inscriptions, and religious symbols etched into the chalk surfaces.
The New Cave extends about 200 meters with maze-like tunnels, while maintaining a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The caves feature an underground water well with white limestone-tinted water and numerous monastic cells connected through vaulted corridors.
