Just outside the village of Mesopotam there is the Saint Nicholas Monastery, a 11th century church that was built on the site of an earlier orthodox monastery complex. Some of the blocks that make part of the rear wall are thought to pre-date the arrival of Christianity because of its incurved images of an eagle, a lion, a dragon and a strange mythical creature that looks like it’s strangling itself with its tail.
