Prodromou Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Arcadia, Greece

The Prodromou Monastery rests within the Lousios Gorge, built into a hollow of an overhanging cliff near the villages of Stemnitsa and Dimitsana.

Constructed in the 16th century, the monastery provided shelter and medical care to fighters during the Greek War of Independence against Turkish occupation.

The monastery maintains a collection of 1000 ancient books and documents, with frescoes attributed to the Cretan School from the 16th century.

Visitors need to follow steep pathways to reach the monastery, which sits on the left bank of the river Lousios opposite to the Philosophos Monastery.

The monastery complex includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Athanasios on a small hill, containing part of his relics and offering views of the gorge.
