Monastery of the Holy Trinity

            The Monastery of the Holy Trinity (also known as Agia Triada meaning "Holy Trinity") is an Eastern Orthodox monastery in central Greece, situated in the Peneas Valley northeast of the town of Kalambaka. It is situated at the top of a rocky precipice over 400 metres high and forms part of 24 monasteries which were originally built at Meteora, one of the oldest still existing of the Meteora monasteries (Meteora means "suspended in the air" in Greek). Six of the 24 monasteries are still active and open to visitors. The church was constructed between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites titled Meteora. The monastery was featured in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.

Agía Triáda: (Heilige Dreifaltigkeit) Das Kloster wurde wahrscheinlich zwischen 1458 und 1476 gebaut. Genauere Daten sind nicht überliefert. Die Anlage ist noch immer bewohnt. Ursprünglich war der Zugang nur über Seilwinden und Strickleitern möglich. Erst seit 1925 gibt es eine Treppe. Die Kirche ist mit Fresken ausgemalt, die aus dem Jahr 1741 datieren. Bemerkenswert ist auch ein Evangeliar aus dem Jahr 1539. Das gedruckte Evangeliar mit silbernem Deckel stammt aus Venedig. Dieses Kloster wurde weltweit bekannt, da ein Teil des James-Bond-Filmes In tödlicher Mission darin gedreht wurde.
