Daibabe Monastery. The monastery only looks like an ordinary church, but if you go inside, you can find a whole underground complex. The history of the construction of the monastery is quite interesting. Once a peasant had a dream in which a saint, buried in these places, asked him to build at least a small church in honor of his holy teacher. The peasant told his dream to St. Simeon, and he realized that they were being addressed by a disciple of St. Sava, whose relics were just hidden from the Turks in these places. With the support of King Nicholas, a monastery church was built at the end of the 19th century. Paintings by St. Simeon can still be found on the walls of the caves.
