Great Meteoron or Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour

It is the most important monastery of the area, which gave its name to the wider region and preserves rich relics, stunning frescoes and significant buildings such as the refectory and the sacristy, functioning as the main museum of Meteora. It is the largest of the six monasteries that remain active in Meteora, which since 1988 have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
