In the middle of the courtyard stands the main church (Katholikon)
built in 1854 and to its west stands the Phiale, a roofed open-air basin for holy
water, serving liturgical purposes at the feast of Epiphany and every first day
of the month. The main church is surrounded by the Nuns’ cells, the superior’s
cell, the buildings of the Priest School and the Refectory. To the southwest of
the courtyard and to the right of the main gate, stands the quadrangular Tower,
dating from the second "proprietor’s" time. In 1876 the Tower
was repaired and since then it has been transformed into a library. It was there
that there used to be conserved 100 volumes of manuscripts, 1500 printed documents,
4 chrysobulls, 5 patriarchal sigillia and other pieces that were looted and carried
of during the wars. Next to the Tower stand the ARCHONTARIKI (reception room),
dating back to 1795, with internal murals of landscapes, cities, ports and other
decorations.
