Rocky Monastery

Moldova holds many secrets, including mysterious tales about historic monasteries and cathedrals, one of which is the Rocky Monastery. This destination is one of the most well-known and attractive tourist hotspots in Moldova, not only due to the strange stories but also because it is the largest rock monastery in Central Europe.

The Rocky Monastery was carved into a massive cliff. It cannot be denied that this place is one of a kind. The entire monastery was buried beneath the rocks. When you visit, try to look at it from the other side. It seems like an array of limestone in the center of the mountain, with dark window openings. You will be surprised and possibly intimidated. There are currently 18 roomy cells kept here. On a steep slope, they are divided into three tiers. It is a rare example of a multi-level stone structure that is a national treasure.

The mysteries surrounding the Tsypovo Monastery are also fascinating. Fairy tales and mystical legends draw visitors who are interested in extrasensory experience, transcendental disciplines, and other related topics. According to mythology, Orfeus, the Greek hero, descended into the realm of shadows for his Euridika just here in Tsypovo.
