If any foreigner had asked me, "Which city would you recommend visiting in Russia?" I would have immediately started the story with this city. And it's not because of the famous inscription "Russia begins here." This city can be called one of the most beautiful places in our country.
Vasilyevskaya Tower
The most mysterious and unusual male monastery in our country. Essentially, it is a fort situated in a valley rather than on an elevation. And the reason for this is the caves. Or rather, as the inscription says, the 'caves bestowed by God'.

I've never heard of this place. Heading from Pskov to the Holy Dormition Pskov-Pechersk Monastery, I saw an interesting sign made of carved wood and decided to stop by. The emotions of what he saw are a hundred times higher than expectations.
