The Monastery of Agia Lavra is approximately 4 km from Kalavryta.

The Monastery of Agia Lavra was founded in 961 by the monk Eugene. The original Catholic monastery was located approximately 500 meters from the current and was destroyed by the Turks in 1585. The Monastery of Agia Lavra stands in its current position since 1689.

The long-suffering monastery was burned by Ibrahim in 1826 and rebuilt in 1828. In 1844 it is demolished by an earthquake, until it is rebuilt in 1850. On December 14, 1943, following the massacre in Kalavryta, Germans burned the monastery and executed all monks found in it. In 1950 the Monastery of Agia Lavra was restored to its present form and still remains a place of pilgrimage for the Orthodox and a worthy destination for any visitor.

In Agia Lavra, according to the prevailing version, the Metropolitan Palaion Patron Germanos blessed in March 1821 the assembled Greek chieftains and raised the revolutionary banner declaring the Greek Revolution against the Turks.

What is certain is that here the first flag of the Greek Revolution and weapons of 1821 can be found, along with many other ecclesiastic relics that constitute the cultural treasure of the monastery; a treasure worth seeing.
