“The Monastery”
Panayia Giatrissa is an Orthodox Christian monastery located in the southern Peloponnese of Greece.
The monastery was erected on the site of the ruins of an ancient temple of Athena.
The conversion of the temple from pagan to Christian took place possibly as early as 382 AD.
Over the ages, the condition of the monastery has ebbed and flowed withthe tide of wars,occupations,
famines, and faltering or flourishing economies. Today, the monastery complex includes a moderately sized,
ornately decorated, Byzantine style church, and a second small but quaint chapel.
