Haghia Triada monastery, Halki, Byzantine monastery in Heybeliada, Turkey.
The Haghia Triada monastery presents a symmetrical structure with domes and intricate frescoes depicting biblical scenes on the walls and ceilings.
The monastery site dates back to the 9th century when Patriarch Photius I established it, later becoming a theological school until its closure in 1971.
The monastery library contains numerous manuscripts and religious texts that document the development of Orthodox Christianity in the region over centuries.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a ferry from Istanbul to Heybeliada island and then using a horse-drawn carriage from the pier.
The monastery cemetery holds graves of religious figures, including Saint Theodore Studius who opposed Emperor Leon V during the Iconoclasm period.
