Description
The Holy Monastery of Rousanou sits suspended between heaven and earth on a rock pinnacle in Meteora, Greece. The region once housed 24 monasteries precariously perched atop rock outcroppings. Six ancient monasteries remain inhabited in Meteora (four male; two female). Rousanou is now a nunnery, one of two at Meteora. The monasteries of Meteora preserve ancient Christian practices of spiritual devotion in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. The setting is majestic, and the interior art forms divine. The monasteries of Meteora are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
