In my first post about these buildings (1742) we had a look at the first building on the ground floor. Today we examine the three higher floors. But first let me show a picture of the all buildings, found on isihazm.ru, date unknown. The skull of Saint Silouan is venerated as a relic in the Panteleimonos monastery.
Climb the stone stairs to reach the second building
On the second building hangs a large balcony on the outside wall: going there would not be a good idea!
The interior of building two: again a large wheel with cogwheels. I did not try to climb the stairs to the second floor!
Between building two and three: here the balconies disappeared totally.
Building three
One floor higher: looking down at building three
Building three: the interior
Looking down: building three and two
The east side of building three: here the water wheels were attached to the walls
Between building three and four: this part is well kept and the door was locked.
Broken windows in building four
Building four: the water wheel is still intact
Building four: west side
Millstones for grinding grain (also the painting in the previous post – image 5)
The balconies of building four at the west side
The door of building four, also locked. A large brass sieve(?) on the foreground.
Building four seen from above
Building four with its water wheel on the left
The water wheel of building four in detail
A water reservoir above building four
Next to the reservoir: a ruined house. This (fifth) house is found on the black and white picture in the previous post (image four)
In the bushes: a wall of the ruined building
Just above the water reservoir leads the paved road towards Paleo Monastirion
Looking down to the West: the iron bridge near Panteleimonos
The same area, screenshot Google Earth. The water reservoir is to be seen above the four buildings as dark square.
