Agios Minas monastery, Chios, Orthodox monastery in Neochori, Greece
The stone structure of Agios Minas monastery sits on a hill near Neochori village, featuring a central church and residential quarters for nuns.
Built between 1572 and 1595 by Reverend Neofitos Koumanos and his son, the monastery witnessed the tragic massacre of 3,000 people during Ottoman attacks in 1822.
Twenty-five nuns maintain the monastery traditions through religious painting, crafting ecclesiastical garments, and preserving Orthodox Christian practices.
The monastery opens to visitors throughout the year, with a memorial displaying the remains of massacre victims in the courtyard mausoleum.
The marble floors of the church still bear visible marks from the blood of victims who sought refuge during the 1822 massacre.
