You are in: Home Greece Crete Hania Prefecture Agia Triada Agia Triada In a distance of 15 km away from Hania is the monastery of the Holy Trinity Tsagarolon, built in 1612 by Laurentius and Jeremiah, progeny of a Venetian family who embraced the Orthodoxy. The monastery is majestic not only from the outside but also in size and it is in a very good condition. The church of the monastery was built in 1634 and the facade is amazing with Dorian pillars. In the Revolution of 1821, it was burnt by the Turks and desolated for many years. It was renovated by the monks Kalliopios and Grigorios from Akrotiri. The landscape is magnificent, as the monastery is surrounded by a dense olive plantation and the road that reaches the entrance is adorned with cypresses. It has a library with rare books and old codes. In 1833 , a boarding school was founded, and in 1892 there was a seminary, where many brilliant pedagogues taught. |Home| Select Country --- EUROPE --- Austria Cyprus Czech Republic France Germany Greece Italy Malta Monaco Netherlands Slovak Republic Spain Turkey U.K --- AMERIKA --- Argentina Brazil Mexico Uruguay U.S.A --- AFRICA --- Egypt --- ASIA --- U.A.Emirates   View all Hotels in Crete Agia Triada Destinations Europe America Africa Asia Crete info@4holidays.gr 4holidays.gr   :::   All Rights Reserved © 2002 - 2008
