The Sumela Monastery in Turkey's Black Sea Province of Trabzon

Architecturally mind blowing. The Sumela Monastery in Turkey’s Black Sea Province of Trabzon.

Panagia Sumela ist a greek orthodox Monastery-dated around AD 386, during the reign of the emperor Theodosius I (375–395).Two Athenian monks named Barnabas and Sophronios founded the monastery. It became famous for an icon of the Theotokos known as the Panagia Gorgoepekoos, said to have been painted by the Apostle Luke.

Trabzon (or Trebizond or Τραπεζουντα in modern Greek) is the ‘capital’ of Pontic Greeks, an ethnically greek group with historical presence in the region of Pontus.

Originally, I was aghast that they wouldn’t wanna live in a place like this that is in such good condition but then I looked at the comments I noticed that this is not a Scottish castle. Why? Because it is not in Scotland. It is not even on the continent of Europe at all. It is in Turkey. It’s near Armenia. It’s also not a castle, it’s a monastery. It is still kind of in operation. The religious order doesn’t use the building but it’s still open for tourists. Here is the actual information: 

Sumela Monastery in Turkey. That’s not a castle.

That honestly makes a lot of sense. In many places in the world, monastic orders tend to build their monasteries very far from civilization as a way to withdraw from civilization and the hubbub of every day life. 

THIS is Dunalastair Castle in Scotland. Or, What’s left of it.
