In 1237 Nuridjan was captured by Batu, and in 1313 became part of the Golden Horde and was named Mohsi . In 1395 the settlement was wiped off the face of the earth Tamerlan .

Cave monastery
This is a real find, about which legends go! A whole cave complex that extends deep into the Fruit Mountains. The length of the complex is 635 meters, although initially it stretched for 2, 5 kilometers. The complex consists of three tiers with twenty small and large cells. There are the fourth and fifth tiers, but they still remain closed. In total, the depth of the complex corresponds to the height of a fourteen-story house
Caves were used by an ancient local tribe - Burtas - before the thirteenth century for religious rites. In the monastery cave structures were transformed in 1826, when Arseny II retired to the caves. In 1917, most of the cave monastery was destroyed. There is a cave complex in the village of Skanovo, one and a half kilometers from the Trinity-Scanner Monastery. At the foot of Mount Płodzka there is the Holy Source of the Forty Martyrs, but about this below.
Trinity-Skanov Monastery
The monastery was founded in the middle of the seventeenth century, but the first stone building dates back to 1825. In the Trinity-Skan Monastery, the miraculous Trubchev Icon of the Mother of God was preserved, which was written in 1756 by the monk of the Chelny monastery Evfimiy.
Initially, the monastery was male, and now female. There is a monastic complex in the same village of Skanovo, near the cave complex

Holy source of 40 martyrs
The source comes from the Mount of Fruit, in which there is a cave monastery. In the bowels of the mountain lies a lake, from which the water merges into the source. On the site of the spring, a spring and a font are arranged. This is a very quiet, quiet and secluded holy place. Perfectly suitable for relaxation and immersion in thoughts. Usually tourists go to the source after visiting the caves and recruit spring water with them.
