Meteora Roussanou Monastery
The Holy Monastery of Roussanou was first established in the 14th century. To build the monastery, the monks had to hoist stone and other materials to the top of the massive rock pillar. Since the monks wanted to keep invaders out, they couldn't carve stairs—even for their own access. Instead, they used removable ladders.
