This is St. Stephens Monastery.  It is one of the largest and the hardest to get to.  It stands on top of a pinnacle about 2000 feet high.  From here we had to walk down to a narrow part of the crevice, cross a bridge and walk up through tunnels and 170 stairs to get there.  The wooden part on the top right is where they used to lower a basket to bring up supplies and people.

How old are these? How did they build up there? 170 stairs? Yikes.

K, later in your post you said it was 1500 years old. What the??? That is some serious construction minus the awesome backhoes and cranes of modern times.
