The Chapels

The Chapels

There are two chapels in the cathedral at the St Pavlos Monastery: the north, dedicated to St Georgios the Trophybearer, and the south, dedicated to the Holy Pavlos, the founder of the Monastery, and to St Gerasimos Kefallonia. Within the Monastery perimeter, there are seven other chapels: St Georgios, St Anthimos Nikomedeias, St Gerasimos, St Nikolaos, St Nektarios Pentapoleos, St Gregorios the Theologian, and the Sts Konstantinos and Eleni.
In addition to the above, the Monastery also has six chapels outside of its perimeter: All Saints (in the cemetery), St Dimitrios (in the old cemetery), St Trifonos (in the garden), St Spyridonos (in the olive grove), St Dimitrios (at the harbour), St Andreas the First-Called (Πρωτοκλήτος) (in the Administration Building (κονάκι) at Karyes), the Transfiguration of the Saviour (at the forest service office on the mountain), and St Nikolaos (at the estate in Monoxuliti).
Southwest of the Monastery, in the cemetery, is the chapel of All Saints, built in 1795 in the type of a ‘compact’ cruciform-shaped church with a dome without a drum, and a narthex. On the southeast side of the Monastery, the old cemetery church of St Dimitrios, which ceased operation when the new chapel was built, still survives.
