It is an Orthodox Christian monastery in Kiev (Ukraine). The beginning of its existence is dated 1051, during the reign of Yaroslao the Sage. It is the oldest monastery in Ukraine and one of the holy places of the Eastern Orthodox religion. In 1990, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, along with Saint Sophia Cathedral.
The enclosure has an area of 28 hectares and is surrounded by walls. It is divided into two zones: the low and the high. Both house several buildings of religious-cultural importance: churches, monasteries, museums, as well as the ancient caves of the monks that make up the historic center of the complex.
It is located on Rua da Revolt de Janeiro, in an area of wooded hills, near the west coast of the Dnieper River.
The caves in which the monks lived (dating from the Neolithic period) named the monastic complex. They form two mazes of underground tunnels, cells and catacombs with chapels and churches and numerous niches where the monks buried. On average, both mazes are 1.5 m wide and 2 m high.
