Chapel of the Prophet Elias, Mount Olympus

Near the summits of Mount Olympus lies the chapel of the Prophet Elias (Greek: εξωκκλήσι του Προφήτη Ηλία).

[3] Saint Dionysius, founder of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity (nowadays known as Monastery Agios Dionysios), also founded the chapel of the Prophet Elias in the 16th century.

Dionysus, who practised an ascetic life, is said to have lived in the church at times.

[4] The chapel is the highest ecclesiastical building of the Orthodox Church worldwide.

[5] The chapel was built on the top of Mount Profitis Ilias; the main building materials were the surrounding stones.
