Repose of St John the Theologian
The monastery sits on the hillside in morning mist. The light is so gentle that everything around looks very serene.

Sofía López What a peaceful sight. I think that monastery is that of Sant Pere de Rodes, in the Empordà area, where the terrain is all limestone rock.
Василий Орлов The fog there often lasts until lunchtime due to the proximity of the sea. And the rocks are really limestone, as can be clearly seen from the color in the photo.
Anthony Brown The stonework on those lower walls looks pretty old, probably 10th or 11th century Romanesque from what I can make out. The way the blocks are cut and fitted is solid.
Ivana Savić The monastery is dedicated to Saint Peter. In that picture you can see how well the walls are holding up even after so many centuries.
Dušan Jovanović Monastyr is dedicated to Saint Peter, it is clear from the picture. Is it open to visitors all year round or only on certain days? And when do the liturgies usually start there?
Анастасия Воробьёва Yes, it is open all year round, but in winter there are liturgies only on weekends, starting at 9 am.
