Monastery of the Holy Trinity

The Monastery of the Holy Trinity (Agia Triada) is built high on the top of the mountain above the Mandraki area, east of the settlement. The construction of the Monastery is identified in 1704 and its founder was the priest Antonios Oikonomou. During the Greek revolution of 1821, the Monastery offered financial support to the fighting Greeks. In 1825, Tsamis Karatassos fortified the Monastery to repel any invasion. The monastery complex presents the characteristics of the orthodox type of monasteries, with the Byzantine-style church in the middle and the building complexes around it, such as an entrance with an arch, a garden, buildings with a dining room, a library, cells, a guest house, etc. The icons of the church are probably painted by the local iconographer Karatzas. Day of celebration: The day of the celebration of the Holy Spirit.
