"The Holy and Great Monastery of Vatopedi (Greek: \u0392\u03B1\u03C4\u03BF\u03C0\u03AD\u03B4\u03B9, pronounced [vato\u02C8pe\u00F0i]) on Mount Athos, Greece, was built during the second half of the 10th century by three monks, Athanasius, Nicholas, and Antonius, from Adrianople, who were disciples of Athanasius the Athonite. From then onwards, several buildings have been constructed, most of them were built during the Byzantine period and during the 18th and 19th centuries when the monastery reached its highest peak."@en .
