Construction of Pantanassa Monastery (15th century

The Pantanassa Monastery (Greek: Μονή Παντανάσσης) is a former Eastern Orthodox monastery, now nunnery, located in Mystras, in the Peloponnese region of Greece. It was founded by a chief minister of the late-Byzantine Despotate of the Morea, Giannis Frankopoulos, and was dedicated in September 1428. Although abandoned by monks, it is inhabited by nuns and is open to visitors. Mystras was once the home to several monasteries, it is the only monastery that remains permanently inhabited by a religious order.

Its "beautifully ornate stone-carved façade" is of architectural note; completed in a mix of Byzantine and Gothic Revival styles. The former monastery is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mystras, inscribed in 1989.
