Monastery in Meteora Municipality, Greece
The Monastery of Saint Stephen is a Greek Orthodox monastery in central Greece, situated in the Pineios Valley northeast of the town of Kalambaka. It is located at the top of a rocky precipice below Kukulas (Κουκουλάς) peak, 510 metres (1,670 ft). It is one of twenty-four monasteries which were originally built at Meteora. Completed during the 14th century, the Monastery of the Saint Stephen is one of the oldest existing of the Meteora monasteries. It is also the monastery with the largest number of inhabitants, 31 nuns as of December 2025. Collectively titled Meteora, in 1988 the extant six monasteries were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
