The oldest ones were built during the emperor Konstantinos IV\u2019 Pogonatos dominance. Most of the monasteries don\u2019t officiate today. In the past, they used to play a very important religious, social, cultural, educational and economical part in the wider area. A visitor will surely be impressed by their remarkable architecture, their wall paintings (hagiography) and wood sculptures found in these monasteries.<\/p>\n
