Moni Rousanou, Orthodox monastery on rock pinnacle in Meteora, Greece
The Rousanou Monastery occupies an entire rock terrace, featuring a three-story structure with the Church of Transfiguration and multiple monk cells.
Founded in 1288 by two brothers from Ioannina, the monastery experienced significant expansion during the 16th century with additional construction and decorative elements.
The monastery's main church contains frescoes from 1560, created by an artist of the Cretan painting school, representing religious scenes and biblical narratives.
Visitors can access the monastery through a bridge constructed in 1930, with admission fees of 3 euros and specific dress code requirements.
The monastery transformed from a male monastic community to a convent in 1988, now housing fifteen nuns who maintain the religious traditions.
