The phrase "New Athos", whose webcams will make it possible to enjoy the beauty of this region, sounds mysterious.
This city is one of the most frequently visited in Abkhazia. This is a large settlement, which is located only 20 km from the capital Sukhumi and 80 km from the Russian border. Green hills and the Black Sea make this place really picturesque.
The main attraction of the city is the monastery. This religious building is located on a mountain called Athos. It was founded in 1875 by Greek monks. Construction was often interrupted by wars, so it could only be completed in the first decade of the 20th century.
For several decades, the monks were able to equip this place for a comfortable stay and pilgrimage. Cobbled streets, alleys and a pier appeared on the territory of the monastery. Not far from the monastery, even a hydroelectric power station was built. Thanks to this construction, electricity appeared here, which was enough to fully provide the monastery.
During these times, handicraft flourished here. There were carpenters, blacksmiths, locksmiths and other craftsmen. The monks also developed beekeeping, agriculture and planted gardens. They grew various crops, including citrus fruits and olives.
After the revolution in the monastery of New Athos, whose webcams are available on the site, there have been big changes.
First, high-ranking officials lived here, then a hospital was located, and then they forgot about it altogether. The revival began only in 1994. Now it is a full-fledged complex, consisting of six places of worship and a religious school.
The main one is the Panteleimon Cathedral. It rises above the monastery complex and stands at the entrance to the New Athos Monastery. It was built between 1888 and 1900. This building, which was built in the neo-Byzantine style, leads to the "Path of Sinners". Belief says that if you go through it to the end, you can get rid of all sins. This building is popular because of the beautiful frescoes that completely adorn it inside. Despite the fact that they tried to paint over, they still showed through the plaster and were well preserved.
