The Hermitage of Saint Gerbold in Normandy, France. Built as a church in the Middle Ages, it was transformed into a hermit's dwelling - a hermitage in the true sense of the word - in the 17th century. The last hermit died in 1840.

The village of Pazzano and the ancient Hermit of Santa Maria della Stella, Calabria, Italy
Pazzano is quaint little village situated between Monte Stella and Monte Consolino and it extends to the north to the lush green Serre mountains.
The most important thing to see in Pazzano is the Hermit of Santa Maria della Stella, an ancient byzantine hermitage sited in a natural cave on Monte Stella.
In the 11th century Byzantine monks lived in the sanctuary. Cristodulo was one of the first the Hegumen. In 1096, it became a minor monastery. In the Norman period it was converted to a Catholic monastery.
Inside the hermitage there is a 16th-century statue of Madonna in marble and Byzantine frescos representing saints.

Electrum vase from the Kul-Oba kurgan, depicting Scythians 4th C. BCE. Of possible Greek manufacture for Scythian trade. Hermitage Museum.
"Nowhere are men seen so dull-witted (I say not this of the Scythian nation) as in the lands by Euxine Pontus, against which Darius led his army. For we cannot show that any nation on the hither side of the Pontus has aught of cleverness, nor do we know (not reckoning the Scythian nation and Anacharsis) of any notable man born there. But the Scythian race has in that matter which of all human affairs is of greatest import made the cleverest discovery that we know; I praise not the Scythians in all respects, but in this greatest matter they have so devised that none who attacks them can escape, and none can catch them if they desire not to be found. For when men have no stablished cities or fortresses, but all are house-bearers and mounted archers, living not by tilling the soil but by cattle-rearing and carrying their dwellings on wagons, how should these not be invincible and unapproachable?
This invention they have made in a land which suits their purpose and has rivers which are their allies; for their country is level and grassy and well watered and rivers run through it not greatly fewer than the canals of Egypt."
-Herodotus, The Histories: Book 4, Chapter 46-47
