Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The monastery was built in AD 386. The legends about the construction of the monastery are still spreading in this beautiful place. Just like many historical buildings, with the changes of the times, no matter how majestic buildings will be destroyed and become ruins . The Sumela monastery could not escape this fate either. The monastery we see today was built in the 13th century by Alaxios III. But compared with other historical buildings that have been turned into ruins, the monastery is lucky, because during the Ottoman period, the monastery still maintained the size of the 13th century, not destroyed, but received more protection from the Ottoman dynasty, maybe As the rumors say, this is the monastery of divine protection.
