The Monastery
The Monastery is located about four kilometers from the town center and it was erected between 1713 to 1734 by the Metropolitan of Athens, Iakovos the Second. It is said that the Metropolitan erected the Monastery because he was suffering from lithiasis and when he drank from the natural spring, outside the monastery, he got well.
The Church that is built inside the Monastery is dedicated to the "Zoodochou Pigis" and many heroes of the Greek revolution are buried in the Monastery yard. One of them is the well-known Admiral Manolis Tobazis.
The daughter of the Italian painter Raphael Ceccholi, who is also buried in the yard, was the artist's inspiration when he painted the beautiful icon of the Virgin Mary in 1850.
