Malshashar is one of the hidden monastic fortresses that guard Adar. [1] [2]

The core sections of the monastery are underground beneath a single mountain peak, but a few sections sprawl out under neighboring mountains. Due ot the secrecy and the harsh environment, even the food is grown underground. [1]
