The Holy Monastery of Agia Triada of Jagarolon

The Monastery is a quadrilateral complex with the main church is the centre of its flagstone courtyard and its various service facilities and residences for the monks and for pilgrims. To overcome the problems of the slope of the land, the western section of the monastery was built externally as three-storied or two-storied, and internally as two-storied or one-storey. The external section comprises of the ground floor domed-covered working compartments and storage areas for oil and wine, while the main courtyard possesses a large underground cistern for the collection of rainwater from the surrounding buildings.

The characteristic main entrance to the Monastery is one of grand scale, at the end of which constitutes one level. The stone door frame is a pattern designed by Sebastiano Serlio worked in local stone. Two arched entrances lead to the olive mill and the wine cellar, while another at a lower level leads to a vaulted area with a spring for the watering of livestock.

The facade of the Monastery is fashioned in an austere geometric order, according to the aesthetic preferences of Manierismo, but which were altered somewhat with the extensions during the time of Turkish domination. The southern side of the West Wing is occupied by the large public dining room, and the on northern side the old Abbot's quarters, which is today the library.

The main entrance leads to the main courtyard which is dominated by the impressive size of the Main Church with a facade of hewn stone. The "cells" or living quarters for the monks are arranged in the three wings of the Monastery, while the newer two-storied Abbot's quarters are in the centre of the South Wing.

Two more side entrances lead to the courtyard. A two-storey cemetery complex is located at the eastern extremity of the south wing, with an ossuary on the grand floor, and the elegant Church of Christ on the upper level.
