According to the Ministry’s press service, the virtual model is freely available and will help restore the site in case of destruction and promote the history of Kyiv.
“The caves, from which monastic life began in the mid-11th century and the Kyiv Cave Monastery was founded, are located at a depth of 5 to 15 meters, and their total length is almost 900 meters. The creation of a virtual model of the caves is important for Ukraine, as it is a monument of architecture, archeology, history and culture, where the founder of the monastery, Anthony, is buried, and where the relics of 125 saints are kept, including Nestor the Chronicler, iconographer Alipius, doctor Agapit, Ilya Muromets, and others,” the statement reads.
