Monastery of Saint Augustine and Seraphim of Sarof, Orthodox monastery in Dorida Municipality, Greece.

The monastery complex includes a central church with a bell tower containing 62 bells and stands at an elevation of 600 meters northeast of Nafpaktos.

Archimandrite Nektarios Moulatsiotis established the monastery in 1991, marking the beginning of a new religious community in the region of Phocis.

The monastery honors both Western and Eastern Orthodox traditions through its dedication to Augustine of Hippo and Seraphim of Sarov.

The bell tower design replicates the historic structure of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, featuring an extensive system of 62 bells.
