Athens Churches & Monasteries - The Kaisariani Monastery in Athens, Greece is a renowned and affluent religious institution. Situated just six kilometres southeast of the heart of Athens, the monastery boasts a fascinating history. Built upon the remnants of a Roman sanctuary and the ancient temple of Aphrodite and Demeter, the monastery's east wall features a stunning Aphrodite marble source, adorned with a ram's head. Remarkably, the columns of the ancient temple still support the dome of the monastery's abbey church, a testament to the enduring strength of this sacred site.
