Zografou Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Mount Athos, Greece
The monastery complex includes fourteen chapels, a central church with intricate wooden carvings, and a defensive tower housing the library collection.
The monastery, founded in the 10th century by three brothers from Ohrid, underwent significant reconstruction in 1502 under support from Moldavian ruler Stephen VI.
The monastery library preserves 10,000 printed books and medieval manuscripts, including the 13th-century Psalter of Radomir in Bulgarian and Slavic languages.
Located at 160 meters above sea level on the southwestern coast of Mount Athos, the monastery requires a 3.5-hour walk from Karyes administrative center.
The monastery holds three historical paintings of Saint George, with the primary one adorned in gold, silver, and diamonds.
