Sümela Monastery Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The monastery was built in AD 386. The legends about the construction of the monastery are still spreading in this beautiful place. Just like many historical buildings, with the changes of the times, no matter how majestic buildings will be destroyed and become ruins . The Sumela monastery could not escape this fate either. The monastery we see today was built in the 13th century by Alaxios III. But compared with other historical buildings that have been turned into ruins, the monastery is lucky, because during the Ottoman period, the monastery still maintained the size of the 13th century, not destroyed, but received more protection from the Ottoman dynasty, maybe As the rumors say, this is the monastery of divine protection.

A monastery built to stick to the quay, less than an hour by car from the town of Trabson.
[Heart][Heart][Heart] Sumera is a 1600-year-old Orthodox ancient monastery located on a steep cliff in the Maka area of Trabzon, Turkey, at an altitude of 1200 meters. The monastery is built on a rock led by a path through the forest. The beautiful murals on the monastery walls date back to the 18th century and are scenes of Christ and the Virgin Mary in the Bible at Sumera monastery. Abandoned in 1923, the site became a museum and a popular tourist attraction due to its breathtaking location, structure and scenery. On August 15, 2010, with permission from the Turkish government, Orthodox Mass was held at Sumera Abbey for the first time since 1923. World Heritage Site Sumera Monastery
