The Paliouri Monastery seems to have been originally founded as a dependency of the Monastery of Prophet Elias of Zitsa in 1690, and it became autonomous in 1742 . The monastery was destroyed by Ali Pasha and was then rebuilt in 1796. It partially collapsed because of an earthquake in 1813 and was renovated in 1833, when the frescoes were made by the painter Theodosius Zois and his son Constantine from Ioannina. The iconostasis (temple) and its icons date to the same or a little later era. It is a three-aisled basilica housed with domes.
