The Stavropoleos Monastery was originally built in 1724 and has been demolished, reconstructed, and renovated many times over the years. What visitors see today is mainly the building that was consecrated in 2008, which houses icons, objects, and paintings from the early 18th century. The monastery has a library with over 8,000 books, including manuscripts, printed works, and a holy book that dates back to 1723. Visitors will get to see the rich stone carvings decorating the monastery as well as the frescoes painted on the walls. It’s common to find many visitors simply enjoying the peaceful surrounding in the monastery’s courtyard.
