Temple
The Cave Saint Nicholas Men`s Monastery in Halytsia arose on the high bank of the Dniester, probably in the 13th century, on the basis of an early Slavic temple complex.
The monastery is located in natural caves formed in the wall of a vertical limestone rock on the slope of the Halytsky ravine. In the 18th century, Halytsia was mentioned as a hermitage. It was destroyed several times, revived in recent years.
The main complex includes 20 rock-hewn rooms with attached exterior walls that resemble fairy-tale houses with beautiful wooden windows and doors. The buildings are located on stepped terraces with staircases and arches. Some distance away is the hermit's cave.
A wonderful panorama of the Dniester opens from the terrace.
