Dochiariou monastery, Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos, Greece
The monastery complex stands on the southwestern coast of Mount Athos peninsula, featuring stone buildings constructed in traditional monastic architecture.
Founded near Daphne port in the 10th century, the monastery relocated to its current location in the 11th century due to frequent pirate attacks.
The monastery library maintains a collection of 545 manuscripts, including 62 parchments and 5,000 printed books containing religious and historical texts.
The monastery operates under strict entry regulations, permitting only male visitors who obtain specific permits to access Mount Athos peninsula.
The katholikon houses frescoes painted by Cretan artist Tzortzis in 1568, with additional artistic elements added during subsequent renovations in 1783.
