The monastery was built inside the citadel of the hill between the 11th and 12th centuries, but suffered many damages during the 18th and 19th centuries. The katholikon is a four-aisled domed church which is adorned with 16th century frescoes.
The two-storey cell building, auxiliary spaces and a chapel dedicated to the new martyrs, Saint Georgios and Agia Philothei, are preserved through many interventions. Important icons and relics are kept in the monastery.
