The Monastery of Saint Euthymius is a large, fortress-like religious complex on the banks of the Kamenka River. Visitors can explore its imposing walls, towers, and the grand bell tower that offers panoramic views. Inside, the museum displays ancient Russian art, including icons and manuscripts, while the former prison cells provide a glimpse into its history as a place of exile. The monastery's acoustics are famous, and regular bell-ringing concerts showcase the deep tones of its massive bells.
