Varsamonerou Monastery
Varsamonerou or Valsamonerou Monastery ((ギリシア語:Μονή Βαρσαμόνερου) or Βαλσαμόνερου) is a deserted Eastern Orthodox monastery situated near the village of Voriza of the Heraklion regional unit in south-central Crete, Greece. It is built on the south slopes of Mt. Ida, at a location approximately 55 km southwest of Heraklion that offers a panoramic view of the Mesara Plain.〔(Greek ministry of Culture: Καθολικό μονής Βαρσαμόνερου )〕
==History==
The monastery dates from the early Venetian period but the exact date of its establishment is unknown. Venetian archives dating as early as 1332 refer to it as ''Chiesa della Madonna di Varsamonero''.〔Θ. Δετοράκης, Ν. Ψιλάκης, Α. Χατζηκωστής. ''Τα μοναστήρια της Κρήτης'', εκδ. Τράπεζας Κρήτης, Αθήνα 1986.〕 The monastery acted a regional monastic and cultural centre until the 15th century. The nearby Vrontisi Monastery was established as its metochion around 1400. According to an inventory taken in 1644, the Monastery had in its possession various philosophical texts and manuscripts by Xenophon, Aeschines and Plutarch.
Varsamonerou monastery started to decline after 1500 and was eventually abandoned in the 18th century, not to be inhabited again.
