Karakallou Monastery
The Monastery of Karakallou is dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul and it was built on the peninsula’s eastern side.
It is first mentioned in a document dated 1018. In the 13th c. the monastery was entirely ruined and rebuilt by the emperors Andronic II and Ioannis V Paleologos. The next century the monastery was attacked by Latins and pirates. In the 16th c. it was completely destroyed and rebuilt with the financial aid of rulers of Moldavia and Vlachia. It was destroyed recently (1988) by fire but now it is totally renewed. It occupies the 11th rank in the hierarchical order of the twenty Athonite monasteries. It is inhabited by 19 monks (1990), and it follows the coenobitic (communal) way of the monastic life. It also contains 18 kellia.
