The Greek Orthodox monastery of Saint George was erected on the village’s highest point, either in 1690 or 1714. The catholicon (main church) and the cells survive in excellent condition, though the latter are newer additions. The catholicon is a one-aisled basilica with a dome; the walls are covered with frescoes dated in the early 18th century. Strong abutments reinforce the stability of the long walls of the church. The monastery is famously linked with the Greek War of Independence, since tradition claims that it was here that the abbot raised the revolutionary flag in the presence of the local military leaders Georgios Karaiskakis, Gogos Bakolas and others in the spring of 1821.
