The Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi or Chrysopigi was built in 1690 and used to be a nunnery. There was a heavy wooden door, high walls, crypts, a scalding, secret passages, embrasures and escape exits with ropes to the cliff. However, the pirates still managed to raid the island.
In 1834 Otto ordered the disbanding of the monastery. The eight old nuns who lived there had to move into various families of Sikinos.
The monastery is open for visits in the afternoon.
