Female monastery of Meteora. Beautiful views. Original frescoes no longer extant and ecclesiastical museum of little interest. Unesco.

This women's monastery (Ιερά Μονή Ρουσάνου/Iera Moni Rousanou) is especially noteworthy for its views and for its access via a footbridge over the void. Perched on a low (60 m) but impressive peak, which was probably occupied by a monk named Roussanos in the 14th century, it was founded in 1545 to house a relic of Saint Barbara. Long neglected, it was restored in 1980. Recent frescoes include the tortures inflicted on the martyrs. Beautiful views of the monasteries of Agios Nikolaos and Varlaam.

Monastère de Roussanou
Un très beau petit monastère habité par des religieuses qui entretiennent un magnifique jardin bien visible lorsque l'on se trouve sur un des 2 ponts de pierre. Les religieuses tiennent une petite boutique où il est possible de trouver quelques petits souvenirs. L'entrée du monastère est de 3 euros comme pour tous les autres monastères du site

Du belvédère
Soit on se gare en dessous du monastère et on monte les marches bétonnées pour y accéder soit on part du belvédère qui le surplombe J’ai trouvé plus charmant d’aller à sa découverte en prenant le sentier à partir du belvédère. 3 euros la visite et panorama assuré.

Il est à savoir qu'il est facile d'accès pas trop pentu et avec un nombre d'escaliers acceptables. tenu par des religieuses il est de petite taille ce qui lui donne un charme fou! son pont d'accès en pierre est un plus. Attention il ferme tôt 14h00!!
