The monastery is built next to a creek with tall sycamore trees, on the low clearing of a narrow gorge and the anchoretes’ residences can be found on the steep rocks to the east. The main church is single spaced, with a wooden roof and fragments of wall paintings from the 17^th century. We know that it existed in 1588 and that it was renovated in the 17^th century. Only a two-storey fortification tower with a small dome is salvaged from the precinct.
Two residences of anchoretes with wall paintings from the 12^th century on the natural rock are salvaged close to it in a rock’s cavity. The bigger of the two consists of three single-spaced small churches.
