MONASTERY OF ROUSANOU - Meteora, Greece
This monastery is situated on a rock, which is barely big enough for it, with its walls built right on the rock's edge. Until the end of the last century, rope ladders were used, later to be changed into strong cement bridges linking it with the nearby mountain, for access.
The monastery was founded in 1288 by Monk Rousanos and later rebuild. It is adorned by well maintained wall frescos.
