Panagia Olympiotissa Monastery, Byzantine monastery in Elassona, Greece

The Panagia Olympiotissa Monastery stands on a hilltop in Elassona, providing views across the Thessalian plain toward Mount Olympus.

The monastery, constructed between 1295 and 1304 by Constantine Doukas and Theodore Angelos, served as a significant religious center during the Byzantine period.

The interior walls display 14th-century frescoes featuring portraits of Byzantine emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos and numerous religious figures.

Visitors can access the monastery's guest house, library, and natural history museum, with main celebrations taking place on August 6 and August 15.

The monastery houses an ancient icon of the Virgin Mary, which according to tradition originates from a former monastery at Karya near Mount Olympus.
