Wow. I've heard of monasteries perched high on an almost inaccessible rock. This is a good example.

It's really tucked in there!

I can’t imagine how the amazing people managed to get the materials up there to build such a beautiful building and then live in and maintain it.

Tha Greek monasteries are amazing and as much as I admire their ingenuity in building and living in such locations, I also wonder about the forces behind why they did it. I have been to Meteora where there are a number of monasteries in precarious place. Nice shot - especially with the cross on the skyline.
