The refectory church, in the Pechersk Lavra monastery complex. In Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine.

 

Founded in the 11th century, on the Pechersk hills, overlooking the Dnieper, the monastery includes an underground system of man-made caves. The refectory church is dedicated to St Anthony and Theodosius of Kiev, and was constructed in the 1890's in a style blending elements of Byzantine and neo-Russian architecture.

 

Taken with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
