We will visit the unique cave temple complex: female Orthodox monastery (XVII century) in Kostomarovo. During the visit of Spassky Monastery in Kostomarovo, we will see: Mount Calvary with a memorial cross, Mount Tabor, and a sacred spring Kidron.

Today it is the only remained cave in the central region, which is the Christian church with two altars.

The complex of Small Divas includes a cave church and a bypass gallery with two chapels. The complex was first mentioned in some documents in the year 1653, although there are suggestions of its earlier origin. The principle of building the cave temple and graffiti on the walls resembles images in the Roman catacombs of the first centuries of Christianity.
