 The Monastery of Paleokastritsa in Corfu Greece: On a green hill above the beach of Paleokastritsa, on the north western side of Corfu, there is a large Monastery dedicated to Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Paleokastritsa. This monastery dominates the whole region. Built on top of a remote hill, it gives gorgeous view of the island and the sea beneath.
This is a Byzantine Monastery that dates from 1228, however the current complex, the cells of the monks and the yard date from the 18th century. The monastery has a small ecclesiastical museum with rare Byzantine icons, holy books and other relics. |
