Abstract

The study aims to reexamine the complicated construction­ al history and the architecture of the fascinating Trapeza complex (Refectory) of the Megiste Lavra Monastery on Mount Athos. The main conclusion drawn from the investiga­tion is that the Refectory building does not date to the middle Byzantine period, but rather was constructed at the beginning of the 16th century.
