METEORA - In central Greece and particularly in the North Western part of Thessaly, between North East of Hasia and West of Pindos, where the plain of Thessaly ends, gigantic rocks raise, that create a spectacle which might be unique worldwide.
U.N.E.S.C.O has characterized the Holy Meteora as a "monument of Humanity that has to be maintained".
Kalampaka is the city under the rock towers of Meteora. The thing that makes Meteora so special is the monasteries on the top of the rock towers.

The Holy Monastery of Rousanou/St. Barbara - This was founded in the middle of 16th century AD and decorated in 1560. It is dedicated to 'The Transfiguration' but honoured to Saint Barbara.
