Church & Monastery of the Apostles

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:40:35

From the peaceful, flowery courtyard, steps lead down to the church, its air of mystery enhanced by gilded icons, brass lamps and elaborately carved wood. The three chapels are dedicated to the 12 disciples, Sts Peter and Paul, and Mary Magdalene. To see if a monk is available to show you around, ring the bell high up on the right side of the red door 10m west of the overhead pedestrian bridge.
