The Monastery of St. Simon
In addition to its architectural and historical value, the Monastery of St. Simeon is also very remarkable for its history. Simeon, who lost his family in the earthquake, devotes himself to Christianity. Like the famous philosopher Diogenes, who spent his life in a barrel, Simeon builds a pillar to be close to God and continues his life on this pillar. In time, Simeon's followers were formed, and they joined this movement to form the sect of the Stillites. The remains of the monastery and the column on which Simeon stood, built by his followers after the death of Saint Simeon, continue to welcome visitors today.
