Agios Eleftherios Monastery, Mournies
Near the village, on a left turn from the square, after about 200 metres, is the monastery of Agios Eleftherios from the seventeenth century. The monastery church has unusual architecture. Today it presents externally the shape of a Latin cross (the vertical stem being longer than the horizontal) with three conches and a dome supported by a tall drum. The front part of the church, however, is much older, probably dating from the tenth or eleventh century.
