Storia
Vazelon Monastery is a ruined Christian building located in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It was built in 270, the ruin is 40 km (25 mi) south of Trabzon. First Justinian I, a ruler of the Byzantine Empire, ordered the monastery to be repaired in 565, and it was renovated multiple times until the 20th century when it had to be abandoned due to the Pontian-Greek genocide and the Greco-Turkish population exchange in 1923. The current structures date from the rebuilding in 1410.
