The Pantanassa Monastery 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.
