The [[katholikon]], which is dedicated to the Three Bishops (St. [[Basil the Great]], St. [[Gregory the Theologian]], and St. [[John Chrysostom]]), is of the Athonite style of a cross-in-square and was built in 1541/1542.
The frescos in the monastery were done by the [[iconography|iconographer]] Frangos Katelanos. The monastery also possesses a collection of artifacts including [[relics]], carved wooden crosses, [[icon]]s, embroidered [[epitaphoiepitaphios‎]], and other ecclesiastical items.
