Agios Nikolaos Anapafsas Monastery, Kalambaka
The first monastery on the road up from Kastraki is the smallest and, in its way, the most ingenious: Agios Nikolaos Anapafsas, 'Saint Nicholas the Restful', built in the early sixteenth century on a rock too narrow for a courtyard, so the monks built upward instead — church, cells and refectory stacked in tiers like a stone tower. Its little katholikon holds frescoes of 1527 by Theophanes the Cretan, among the finest painters of the post-Byzantine world. With this scene, all six of Meteora's inhabited monasteries are named in the gallery.
