MONASTERY OF THE DORMITION OF THE VIRGIN (BRESTHENITISSA)

It is located in the northwest of the historical village of Bresthena. The church was the catholicon of the monastery but at the same time a cathedral and the seat of the Bishopric of Bresthenes at the beginning of the 18th century. It is a three-aisled vaulted basilica that preserves the original marble iconostasis and most of its frescoes, which date back to the 1400s.
