Dayr Mar Mikhail Monastary - Islamic Cities (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

Assyrian monastery with interesting history. It was established in the mid-fourth century A.D. by Mar Mikhael.

Several remaining manuscripts and evidence show that the monastery remained an active school of thought and spiritual source until its whole or partial destruction by Nader-Shah in 1743 A.D.

Inscriptions on the East walls of the monastery today show that it was re-built, or renovated, in 1867, under the care of Father Romanos Al-alqushy. It was further renovated in 1956 under the guidance of Father Afram Rassam.
