saint sergios and bakhos monastery
(mar sarkis & bakhos)
Located on a hilltop in south Amioun, this monastery was built during the Ottoman Era. Its rich collection of icons, painted by the artist Mekhael Mehanna Al-Qodsi, is considered a masterpiece of Greek Catholic art. Lazar houses were built near the monastery to quarantine lepers and prevent outbreaks of the disease amongst the villagers, but these structures have long been demolished.
