The Cistercian Monastery of Zaraka, Greece - Hardcover

by Sheila Campbell (Editor)

During the Frankish Crusader period, Cistercian monks built and developed the monastery of Zaraka in Greece for approximately forty years and were followed first by squatters, then by a seventeenth-century cemetery. The goal of this study has been to identify where the monks came from, how they lived, and why they left so suddenly.
