In the narthex, the frescoes date from the beginning of the 19th century. The monastery has suffered greatly during the last two centuries, taking the side of the Greek revolutionaries in the War of Independence (1821-1829) and being the target of the Nazi massacres north of the Peloponnese.

The choir and cloister were finished in 1268. The stained glass windows of the choir were installed around 1270. The chapel of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine was completed to the east in 1280, the octagonal chapel of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in 1291 and the majestic chapter house in 1297. It was not until 1410 that the nave was completed. The cathedral passed to the Protestant Reformation in 1581.
