The Monastery



The Monastery was built in the 1st century in honour of the deified king, Obadas I. It is larger than the Treasury but less elaborately decorated.





The interior has a large chamber with an arch-topped niche where the altar once stood.



It came to be known as the Monastery because of the many Christian crosses on its wall. It was perhaps used as a banquets in honour of the deified King Obadas I
