🎧 Listen to Introduction
In the almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settled on these “pillars” from the 11th century onwards. Despite the difficulties, 24 such monasteries were founded during the great revival of monastic ideals in the 15th century. The 16th-century frescoes in these monasteries mark a key stage in the development of post-Byzantine painting.
