Built into the eastern cliffs of the Lousios Gorge, 14 km from Dimitsana, the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist dates back to 12th-century hermitages. Formed into a cenobitic monastery around 1500–1600, its current northern wing was built in 1860. Known as Arcadia’s “Great Cave,” it still houses a small brotherhood.
