Filerimos

Filerimos is a hill, 270 meters high, planed with cypress and other trees, 15 km away from Rhodes-town. 
The upper part of Filerimos is a large plateau and most of the buildings are found on the eastern side. They include the foundations of a temple, an Early Christian basilica and a Byzantine church.
Italians restored this monastery.

Along the right side of a path there are scenes of the Passions of Jesus. This tiny thickly planed road leads to the western part of the hill, where an imposing cross stands in the middle of a small square.
