Zvirynetsky cave monastery, Cave monastery in Pechersk district, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Zvirynetsky cave monastery contains surface churches and an underground network of caves extending for more than 600 meters beneath Kyiv's landscape.
The monastery began its religious activities in the 11th century under the guidance of St Anthony and St Theodosy, becoming a center for education and medicine.
The monastery complex displays Ukrainian Baroque architecture through its Dormition Cathedral, Trinity Gate Church, and Great Bell Tower from the 17th century.
