The monasteries and churches in Zagori follow their own architecture and are built with materials of the region, namely stone and wood. These buildings date back hundreds of years, since they are chronologically older than the common houses or in the villages. A common feature of the temples is the large outdoor shed with arches, which was a kind of antechamber that protected the faithful from the winter weather conditions. In many monastery churches the door is very low. It is a typical construction of\u00a0 the area and it was used to prevent the profane conquerors from entering the holy space riding on their horse,\u00a0 as they used to.<\/p>\n<\/div>
