Description: Chufut-Kale is an ancient cave city, built in Crimean mountains, in one of the most spectacular mountain landscape I ever saw. It is a quite popular destination, so you would probably be offered a tour. We were there thanks for our Ukrainian friends, who knew this place. History of this place was always connected to poverty, sadness and sufferings. This is where people looked for asylum, hiding themselves from oppressors of every kind. Cage cities like this were used by Christians, when Christianity was not welcomed these places, and Karaims, Jewish-like falks, who were also not welcomed here all the time. Amazing, but people used to live here in beginning of XX century. Hard to imagine how hard this life could be.
