Description

Hermits lived their solitary lives in the caves of Meteora as early as the 10th century and spent their days in prayer and meditation. Over the centuries, more and more hermits and monks seeking to lead a solitary life made their way to Meteora. Their habitation may have looked somewhat like this. Thanks for viewing and comments!

This is similar to the cliff dwellings built by the Anaszi Indians of the southwest dating back to 700 AD. Thank you for sharing this information and interesting shot.
