For centuries before the invention of the train, it was secluded by its somewhat inconvenient location—an arduous trip to nearby villages. Its interior is a feast for the eyes, with especially beautiful frescos in the dome. The monastery’s resilience is evident by its lasting presence throughout war and the destruction of its exterior.
