he Monastery of Varlaam – The Monastery of Varlaam is the second largest monastery in the Meteora complex, and in 2015 had the largest number of monks (seven) of the monasteries for men. It was built in 1541 and embellished in 1548. A church, dedicated to All Saints, is in the Athonite type (cross-in-square with dome and choirs), with spacious exonarthex (lite) is surrounded by a dome. It was built in 1541-42 and decorated in 1548, while the exonarthex was decorated in 1566. The old refectory is used as a museum while north of the church is the parekklesion of the Three Bishops, built in 1627 and decorated in 1637.[16]
There are some interesting holes in the rock below the building. And, I'm with you "woodworker". . . I almost get dizzy just looking at the picture. But this really is an awesome scene ralfie36. . . and I thank you for a nearly nauseating experience in my "armchair tour of the world" Seriously (all kidding aside) . .THANKS.
