HOLY CROSS MONASTERY

HOLY CROSS MONASTERY - Naxos

It was founded in the 16th century. Its heyday was at the beginning of the 18th century, when active abbots and monks contributed to the increase of its wealth. It has remarkable art icons, works by the painter Manuel Falaioulos. At the end of the 18th century, he raised claims on the Monastery of Agios Eleftherios, according to the patriarchal seal of April 1801.
However, the intervention of the Patriarchate and the dragoman of the Fleet Callimachis thwarted the expansionist visions of the abbot of the Holy Cross Monastery, Most Venerable Minas. Next to the Monastery there is a small Byzantine church with Byzantine hagiographies of Saint Nikitas or in other words the Master of the World. In any case, the fact is that its main fresco is "The Master of the World".
BAZAIOU TOWER
Since 2000, it has been restored on a private initiative under the architectural supervision of Themistocles Billis and Maria Magnisalis. Its operation since then houses cultural and cultural activities, hosting under the name Pyrgos Bazaiu, exhibitions and festivals with a focus on the island of Naxos.
