Ukraine is mostly Orthodox country. In western Ukraine there are many Catholic churches. In Crimea there are many Muslims (Crimean Tatars are about 20% of population of Crimea, all in all 400,000 of people).

I have included into this folder photos of Orthodox churches and monasteries on territory of Ukraine and Crimean peninsula. Most of pictures are from Crimea and include also very small cave monasteries.

At the moment (February 05, 2012) I have 20 photos in a folder Churches & Monasteries.
