It is an old monastery located between Leontari and Durrës, in a landscape overgrown with fir trees. The monastery has been connected with recent Greek history, as it was during the revolution of 21 the stronghold of Papaflessa. In fact, the abbot of the monastery, Dimitrios, was its famous standard-bearer.
Today, only the catholicon is preserved, which celebrates the Fifteenth of August with a festival ("Papaflessia").
