Above the left bank of the river Lousios, at the base of a tall and wild rock and almost opposite the Philosophos Monastery, dominates the historic monastery of Timios Prodromos. It was built in the 16th century and is today one of the largest and most historic monasteries in the Peloponnese. It is a male monastery and has more monks than the other monasteries of Arcadia. Its tradition dates back to the middle of the 12th century (1167).
The frescoes, despite the damage, are remarkable and, according to Fotis Kontoglou, date back to the 16th century and belong to the Cretan School. In fact, the Cretan and Moscow are considered to belong to Theophanes. The monastery has a remarkable library with important theological and philosophical books. There are old photographs, ecclesiastical faces and letters of Kolokotroni in the Prefecture of Igoumenion and Archontariki.
The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.
Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
