In a region of inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks found protection and settled here from the 10th c. onwards. Despite the difficultiesn 24 monasteries were built. Their 16th c. frescoes mark a key stage in the development of the post-Byzantine painting. More than a million people visit Meteora every year and admire this "unique" natural phenomenon.
