The modern main church (katholikon) dates largely to the 16th century, with some parts from a 14th-century structure. The outer walls are decorated with large numbers of ancient and Byzantine spolia, but the surviving interior frescoes date to 1758.[1] Modern archaeological excavations have discovered traces of the Komnenian-era katholikon underneath.[1]
The monastery was destroyed by fire in 1868 and the katholikon was left ruined for over a century after; it was restored in the early 2000s by the 7th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities with European Union funds.[1] The modern Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos and of Saint Demetrios has been erected around the old structure.
