The Panagia Ekatontapiliani, which means ‘the Church with a Hundred Doors,’ is one of the most incredible Paleo-Christian monuments of the Cyclades. Located on the island of Paros in Greece, the complex of Ekatontapiliani encompasses a series of churches and chapels, some of which date back to 326 AD.

The Stavrovouni Monastery is perched precariously at the top of Stavrovouni, the ‘Mountain of the Cross’. Built sometime between 327 and 329, this ancient monastery is believed to be the oldest on the island of Cyprus.

The main reason pilgrims make the steep journey up to this mountain monastery is because of the piece of the Holy Cross preserved within solid silver inside the church. It was supposedly brought back by St. Helena – the mother of Emperor Constantine – after her travels to Jerusalem.

While women are not permitted to enter the monastery, the trip is worth it for the views of the Mesaoria plain alone, stretching towards the Mediterranean in the distance. While male visitors explore the monastery with its bell tower and arched cloisters, female visitors can visit the smaller Church of the All Saints just outside.

Originally built in the 4th-century, the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Trier has been expanded over the course of thousands of years. It remains the oldest bishop’s church in Germany and the largest religious building in Trier. Located above a former palace that was later converted into an ancient Christian church, one of the first Early Christian rooms north of the Alps can still be found beneath the cathedral.

While the oldest parts of the church date back to the 3rd-century, additional features were added in the 12th-century. These include the Romanesque bell tower, a series of interior mosaics, and a beautiful golden façade. The portico was added in the 18th-century.

The Monastery of Saint Anthony dates back to the 4th-century. It had humble beginnings as an informal gathering of the followers of Saint Anthony – the first Christian monk – who gathered in a small cave at the foot of Gebel Al Galala Al Qibliya in Egypt’s Eastern Desert. Slowly, the compound expanded to include five historic churches, a bakery, library, and garden oasis within fortified walls.
