GREECE - Meteora: Monasteries of Varlaam and Metamorfoseos

Vlad of Romania, my postcard pals sent me this card of Meteora, Greece. Thank you for the nice card, Vlad.


"Varlaam Monastery (or Barlaam Monastery) in the Meteora is named for the monk who first built a tiny chapel on this rocky promontory in the 14th century. It has an elegant church with 16th-century frescoes by a well-known iconographer and other notable buildings."
