Monastery Moni Thari / Монастырь Мони Тари

История одной из главных религиозных достопримечательностей острова Родос - мужского монастыря Мони Тари - берет начало еще в древности. Ученые датируют постройки монастыря XII веком, но есть легенда, что монастырь был построен в IX веке по указу смертельно больной византийской принцессы, которая чудом излечилась, когда монастырь был построен. Святыня располагается на живописном холме в 40 километрах от столицы острова. Главная постройка монастыря - церковь Архангела Михаила, где в прекрасном состоянии сохранились древние фрески на внутренних стенах.

The history of one of the major religious sites of Rhodes - Monastery Moni Thari - originated in ancient times. Scientists dated the construction of the Monastery of the XII century, but there is a legend that the monastery was built in the IX century by the order of the terminally ill Byzantine princess who miraculously cured, when the monastery was built. The shrine is located on a picturesque hill 40 kilometers from the island's capital. The main building of the monastery - the church of the Archangel Michael, which in excellent condition preserved ancient murals on the interior walls
