Monastery Prousou, Orthodox monastery in Evritania, Greece

Monastery Prousou is built on a steep, rocky slope between the Cheledona, Kaliakouda and Panaitoliko mountains, in fir forest. Its lower wing has white walls, three rows of arched openings and a long red-tiled roof; behind it a taller white block with two rows of small windows and red-capped chimneys stands beside a square stone tower with a tiled roof and arched windows. A separate four-storey white building with a red roof stands to the right.

The monastery was founded in early times and developed over centuries as an important Orthodox site. It gained prominence when it became a center of resistance during the independence struggles of the 1820s.

The monastery takes its name from the icon of the Panagia Prousiotissa, said to have been painted in Prusa (Bursa) in Asia Minor and brought to this site during the iconoclasm of Emperor Theophilos (829–842). The feast is celebrated on 23 August, the Apodosis of the Dormition. The sacristy keeps the weapons of Karaiskakis, who donated the icon's silver cover after being cured of fever here.

The monastery lies in the mountains roughly a half hour's drive from Karpenisi and welcomes interested visitors. The site requires good walking shoes and some physical fitness since paths are uphill and the air is thin at this elevation.

The two towers flanking the monastery are called "Karaiskakis's towers"; the general had his headquarters here and donated the silver cover of the Virgin's icon after being cured of a fever during his stay. The monastery's sacristy keeps his weapons, and a sword of his is displayed in the museum.
