Description

Andromonastiro is a monastic complex with fortifications and defensive towers. It was abandoned for more than a century but recently it has been effectively renovated.

It was built during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (end of 12th-beginning of 13th century). Since then, the monastery went through six additional construction phases.
