Panagia Theoskepastos Monastery

Having undergone major repairs several times it assumed its present form in the 19th century.

The monastery initially comprised the rock church on the south side the chapel in its entrance and a few cells.

Inside the rock church there are inscriptions and portraits of Alexios III, his wife Theodora and his mother Irene.
