Panagia Chrysopigi

Sifnos Municipality, Greece · built 1700

The Panagia Chrysopigi is a former monastery built on a promontory on the southeast coast of Sifnos. In the past there was a share of the Vrysis monastery and the oldest references to the monastery date back to the 17th century. The monastery is connected with many legends of the island. The building complex of the former monastery includes, beyond the church, some rectangular buildings, such as the refectory. The single-aisled church bears an inscription from 1757, when the church was probably rebuilt.
