The Pantanassa Monastery (Template:Langx) is a former Eastern Orthodox monastery, now nunnery, located in Mystras, in the Peloponnese region of Greece. It was founded by a chief minister of the late-Byzantine Despotate of the Morea, Giannis Frankopoulos, and was dedicated in September 1428. Although abandoned by monks, it is inhabited by nuns and is open to visitors.[1] Mystras was once the home to several monasteries, it is the only monastery that remains permanently inhabited by a religious order.[2][3]
Its "beautifully ornate stone-carved façade" is of architectural note;[4][5] completed in a mix of Byzantine and Gothic Revival styles.[6] The former monastery is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mystras, inscribed in 1989.
