Monastery of the Apostle Peter's Chains
[edit | edit source]The Monastery of the Apostle Peter's Chains (Alyseos Apostolou Petrou, Αλύσεως Αποστόλου Πέτρου) on Alysos Rock was probably built around 1400. The ruins (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) can still be found on the rock today. In full, the monastery is known as the Monastery of the Veneration of the Chains of the Apostle Peter (Greek: Μονή προσκυνήσεως της αλύσεως του Αποστόλου Πέτρου, romanized: Moni Proskyniseos tis Alyseos tou Apostolou Petrou).[4]
