Mangup Annunciation Monastery

The male Annunciation Monastery is located on the southern slope of Baba-Dag Mountain, where the cave settlement of Mangup-Kale was located in the Middle Ages. Sometimes the monastery is called the Southern Monastery, as it is built on the southern slope of the mountain. The churches are located in a natural grotto of a steep slope, and some of the monastic cells are hollowed out in caves.
