Trooditissa Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Troodos Mountains, Cyprus
The monastery stands at an elevation of 1,370 meters on the southern slopes of Troodos Mountains near the village of Platres.
Founded in 990 after a shepherd discovered a sacred icon in a cave, the monastery underwent multiple reconstructions following fires in 1585 and 1842.
The monastery maintains Orthodox traditions through daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and the production of traditional goods like olive oil and wine.
Visitors must follow a dress code that includes covering shoulders and knees when entering the monastery grounds and religious buildings.
The monastery houses a revered icon of Virgin Mary that draws numerous couples seeking assistance with fertility-related matters.
