Thari Monastery
Laerma 851 09
Byzantine monastery rebuilt over a fifth-century church, its frescoes layered across four centuries.
This guide to Thari Monastery in Rhodes wrestles with a founding date historians can't agree on, from a legend of a Byzantine princess healed by the Archangel Michael to a church that stood on this ground centuries before her. You'll hear how the frescoes inside were painted and repainted across four hundred years. Look up into the dome as you go, where a painted Christ is surrounded by sixteen prophets.
