Lonely Planet review

Near the train station you can't help but spy the five silver onion domes of the Russian Orthodox Panteleymonivsky Church, built by Greek monks with stones from Constantinople in the late 19th century. According to legend, every time the Soviets painted over the church's elaborate frescoes, the frescoes would miraculously reappear. While the Soviets eventually succeeded in covering them up, many of the frescoes are once again visible thanks to vigorous restoration efforts.
