Welcome!
General Information
The Monastery of Agios Panteleimon, whose church is dedicated to the Presentation of the Virgin Mary, is located outside Agia on a plateau of Mount Ossa (Gr: Kissavos) with a view to the south A fortified complex surrounds the church on three sides - east, south and west - from which an elegant dome projects, attracting the visitor's attention. The monastery preserves a large part of its historical structure from the 16th century, during which it underwent great development, as did the whole area of Agia, thanks in part to preferential tax treatment from the Ottoman administration as early as 1540. The katholikon, the two-story Abbot's tower to the south, and the refectory to the west were built in this period, while only the outer wall remains to the east and south where the old wings of the monastic cells once served as a precinct. At this point, only the old wing of the monastery is being reconstructed. The newer wing of the monks' residence was built next to the old bank.

The quote of the day
«Να εξετάζεις την εργασία κάθε ημέρας, σύγκρινε την με την προηγούμενη εργασία και βιάσου να βελτιωθείς. Να προοδεύεις στις αρετές, ώστε να πλησιάζεις τη ζωή των αγγέλων», Μέγας Βασίλειος.
