Monastery of St. Dimitrios

The Monastery of St. Dimitrios (Greek: Μονή Αγίου Δημητρίου, romanized: Moni Agiou Dimitriou) is a former Greek Orthodox monastery that is part of the Meteora monastery complex in Kalabaka, in the Thessaly region of central Greece. In 1809, the Albanian Ottoman pasha Ali Pasha Tepelena destroyed the

monastery, since Greek insurgents led by the local klepht leader Thymios Vlachavas were hiding at the site. Today, the monastery ruins can be seen on Dimitrios Rock. Ypapantis Monastery is located on the same rock, below the Monastery of St. Dimitrios.
