Monastery Prousou, Orthodox monastery in Evritania, Greece
The Proussos Monastery stands on a steep cliff in the Evritanian mountains, surrounded by fir trees and deep ravines near Karpenisi.
During the 1821 Greek Revolution, the monastery served as headquarters for military leader Georgios Karaiskakis, who donated a silver cover for the holy icon.
The monastery houses an icon of the Virgin Mary, attributed to Luke the Evangelist, which was moved from Bursa in Asia Minor during the iconoclastic period.
Located 31 kilometers from Karpenisi, the monastery maintains guest accommodations and a museum displaying ecclesiastical treasures, manuscripts, and historical artifacts.
Two stone watchtowers with battlements, known as Karaiskakis Towers, guard the monastery complex from their position on the adjacent hill.
