Constructed on top of a hill above Chora, the Orthodox Monastery of Saint John the Theologian is among the most important religious centres in Greece. It looks like a fortress but inside there is a monastery, built on the site of an ancient temple.
Tradition says that in this cave, Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation, inspired by God. An entire monastery has been built around this cave.
This museum is located in the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian in Chora Patmos.
