The Stunning Old Refectory

The Refectory Church is located within the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. This is a marvelous structure, with a massive Byzantine-style dome that makes the church unique due to its 20-meter diameter, the most impressive feature, and the largest unsupported dome in Ukraine. It's a very atmospheric place where you can spend hours admiring the church's frescoes, offering some excellent photography opportunities. Why is it called the Refectory Church? Because it used to be the dining hall for the monks of the monastery.
