The Rezina population is about 16 thousand people and consists of people living directly within the city - 13,800 people and the rest living in the villages that are part of the city. In the south of the city, about 4 km away, there are former cellars and prayer lodges dug in the limestone. They date back to 800-900 years. Consequently, the Saharna Monastery was founded near this site.

I will appoint this place after their names.
