Agia Triada Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Chania Municipality, Greece

The monastery complex stands on the Akrotiri peninsula, featuring a two-column entrance gate with Ionic and Corinthian architectural elements and a domed structure.

Venetian nobles Jeremiah and Lawrence Tzangarolos constructed the monastery in 1601, incorporating architectural designs from Italian architect Sebastiano Serlio of Verona.

The monastery museum displays religious artifacts, including manuscripts from the 12th century, embroidered vestments, crosses, and ecclesiastical treasures from different periods.

The monastery welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM until sunset, producing and selling olive oil and wine products to support its operations.

During the 1896-1897 revolution, the monastery transformed into a hospital, and later served as a German military installation during World War II.
