Agia Triada Monastery

is a Greek Orthodox monastery located in the Akrotiri peninsula in Chania.
The monastery, whose name means "Holy Trinity", was built in the 17th century by two brothers of the Venetian Zangaroli family on the site of a pre-existing church.
The monks produce and sell wine and olive oil on the premises.
The church is built in the Byzantine architectural style with three domes. The main church is flanked by two smaller domed chapels, one of which is dedicated to the Life-Giving Spring (ZoodochosPigi) and the other to Saint John the Theologian. The main church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. There are two large Doric-style columns and one smaller, Corinthian-style column on either side of the main entrance. The facade of the church has double columns of Ionian and Corinthian style and bears an inscription in Greek, which is dated to 1631. The monastery's cellar door is dated to 1613. In the 19th century the monastery was established as an important theological school from 1833. The monastery was later extensively damaged during conflicts with the Turks.
The monastery also has a library which contains some rare booksand a museum which contains a collection of icons and a collection of codices. Important exhibits include a portable icon of St John the Theologian dated to around 1500, The Last Judgment, work of Emmanuel Skordiles from 17th century, St John the Precursor (1846), The Tree of Jesse (1853), The Hospitality of Abraham and The Descent into Hades (1855), The Story of Beauteaus Joseph (1858) and a manuscript on a parchment roll with the mass of St Basil.
