Orheiul Vechi, a unique historical place

Cells, Orheiul Vechi Cave Monastery

Cells in Orheiul Vechi Cave Monastery, carved into a massive limestone cliff. It was dug by Orthodox monks in the 13th century and remained inhabited until the 18th century; in 1996 a handful of monks returned and began restoring it. This is where up to 13 monks lived for decades at a time, sleeping on pure bedrock in tiny stone nooks (chilii), opening into a central corridor.
