Outer Narthex 1

View looking northeast from the courtyard at the outer narthex of the main church of the monastery.

Note the three square columns that support the outer wall of the church as well as the arches that span the courtyard.  In the lower right side of the image is the cover to an ancient cistern.  Entrance to the monastery is from the left side of the image—doorway not quite visible.
