the holy cross exaltation monastery

Looks interesting as it is pretty real and does not have any glamorous tourist oriented decor. It gives a realistic culture experience and at the same time nice looking, well looked after. The priests and church stuff are a bit cranky though, but they are cranky in lots of local churches:-)

Wonderful from city walk for those wanting exercise. Your effort will be rewarded by 2 lovely churches and city views. Proper dress required for entry. Masses are still said here. Lovely gardens kept by nunnery.

Небольшой действующий монастырь в Полтаве, находится на холме. Это место паломничества православных христиан. В нём находится один из лучших современных иконостасов Украины. Замечательный вид на Крестовоздвиженский монастырь открывается также с Белой Беседки.
