Penteli Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Penteli Municipality, Greece.
The Penteli Monastery complex includes a central church, multiple chapels, tall protective walls, and large wooden gates on Mount Penteli's southern slope.
Built in 1578 by Bishop Timothy of Evia on the site of a 10th-century monastery, the structure endured attacks from Barbary pirates and Ottoman forces.
The monastery houses numerous ancient artifacts, including marble blocks and columns from temples, alongside rare religious icons and Byzantine frescoes.
The complex maintains specific visiting hours during daylight, requiring guests to follow a modest dress code while 17 permanent monks reside within.
During the 1778 Athens plague outbreak, the monastery provided shelter for local residents seeking safety from the disease.
