Moni Sagmata, Orthodox monastery in Thiva Municipality, Greece
The Monastery of Transfiguration stands at 740 meters elevation on Mount Ypatio, featuring Byzantine architectural elements and numerous chapels within its grounds.
Founded in 1200, the monastery received support from Emperor Alexios Komninos through a golden bull issued in 1106, granting privileges and gifts.
The monastery maintains Greek Orthodox traditions through regular religious ceremonies and serves as a spiritual center within the Diocese of Thebes and Levadia.
Visitors can reach the monastery at its address in Ypato, Thives 32200, Greece, and contact the administration at +30 22620 24183 for current visiting hours.
The mountain's name changed from Ypation Oros to Sagmation during the monastery's establishment, reflecting the location's saddle-like geographical formation.
