🎧 Listen to Introduction
Although geographically far apart, these three monasteries (the first in Attica near Athens, the second in Phokida near Delphi, and the third on an Aegean island near Asia Minor) are of the same type and share the same aesthetic characteristics. The churches were built with a cruciform plan, with large domes supported by angled arches forming an octagonal space. In the 11th and 12th centuries they were decorated with fine marble work as well as mosaics on a gold background, all of which are characteristic of the "Second Golden Age of Byzantine Art".
