Esphigmenou Monastery

Esphigmenou monastery stands on the north-east side of the peninsula in a precipitous location by the sea.
Esphigmenou Monastery

Possibly established in its present form in the tenth or eleventh century. According to Athonite tradition, it was originally founded by the Byzantine Empress Pulcheria in the 5th century.

Pirates seized and looted it three times, and it was burnt down in the fourteenth century, leading to its decline. It began to flourish again in the seventeenth century, and the process was not curbed by the extensive damage it suffered during the Greek War of Independence of 1821.

The monastery has fourty two monks (1990), observes the coenobitic (communal) way of life and it is 18th in the hierarchy of the Athonite monasteries.
