Theodosius of the Caves monastery, 11th century Orthodox monastery in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The monastery features underground corridors with chapels, living quarters, and religious chambers connected through narrow passageways within the cave system.
Established by Saint Theodosius in 1051, the monastery introduced Cenobitic Monasticism to Kievan Rus and shaped the development of Eastern Orthodox traditions.
The monastery maintains traditional Eastern Orthodox practices, including daily prayer services, fasting periods, and the preservation of religious manuscripts.
Visitors can access the monastery complex daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the underground cave system.
The monastery houses a collection of preserved relics, including the incorrupt remains of Saint Theodosius discovered after his death in 1074.
