The Monastery of Agia Triada is located at a distance of 6-7 km from the village of Vythos in the province of Voio and at an altitude of 1000 m. The Monastery maintains its fortress form to the south and east. The Katholikon, a work of the master builder Georgios Koustas from Zoupani (today's Pentalofos) was built in 1800, according to the founding inscription on the north wall. It retains its original form with minimal interventions in the upper part of the east side and the corresponding arch. It is made of hewn stones (sandstones) in an irregular isodome system with disappearance of joints. Architecturally it belongs to the complex four-column (Athonite) type with Dome, side dances and dome in the intention and the deaconry. The corner of the eastern partitions is covered with domes, while those corresponding to the west with semi-cylindrical arches. On the west side the antenna of the Cross is covered with a hemispherical dome. In the Sanctuary, the central polygonal arch (thirteen sides) protrudes externally, while the niches of the intention and the deacon are inscribed in the thickness of the east wall. On the north side the niche is seven-sided with blind arches bearing at the ends Islamizing arches of double curvature, while the south niche is nine-sided with blind arches and adjoining colonnades. The church has a narthex-gynaikonitis, above which is the Chapel of Agios Modestos. The stone roof of the Chapel, extremely elaborate, is divided into three parts by two arches, which are covered with an equal number of blind spherical domes. The wood-carved, exquisite art, gilded Temple of the Temple has been made with the technique of carved in the air. All the surfaces of the main Church and the Sanctuary are covered with frescoes, which were painted, according to the founding inscription in 1802, during the time of Metropolitan Neophytos and Abbot Neophytos by the Chionian Hagiographer Michael. In the main Temple, in the first zone, full-length Saints are depicted, in the second Saints in relics, in the third Christological scenes (Passions, Parables) and in the last zone the representations of Baptism and Transfiguration in the fourth sphere of the southern and northern dance respectively. In the Holy Step, Platytera and the Society of the Apostles, Melismos and the Hierarchs are depicted in the arch. The remaining surfaces of the walls and domes are covered by various issues from the functional, dogmatic and historiographical cycle.
