Monastery of Agia Triada Tzagaroli

The Monastery of Agia Triada Tzagaroli (or Tzagarolon) is one of the most significant monastery complexes from the conclusion of Venetian rule in Crete.

It is a Patriarchal and Stavropegic monastery located on the Akrotiri peninsula.

During World War II, the Greeks initially used the monastery to store supplies. After the German occupation of Crete, the Germans established the School of Anti-Aircraft Artillery there in 1942, and by 1944, 150 to 200 soldiers were stationed at the monastery.

The west side of the complex features monks' cells, wine cellars, and the old olive press. The library is situated on the north side, while the ossuary and the administrative area are located on the south side.
