Summary

• Interior view of the monastery of Docheiariou looking east toward Pyrgos and the guesthouse; the walls of the catholicon can be seen on the left. The monastery of Docheiariou was founded in the second half of the 10th century but was relocated to the current location in the first half of the 11th century. The catholicon dates back to the 16th century and is the tallest on Mt. Athos. The south wing on the right was built in the 17th century as was the tower visible in the back.
