Annotations

The monastery of Patmos was founded in 1088 by Ossios Ioannis Christodoulos following a grant by the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos. The greater part of the monastery was completed by Christodoulos in just three years. Its heavily fortified exterior was necessitated by the threats of piracy and Seljuk Turks.
