In the restored panels of the iconostassis, were pieces from this early Basilica. The Kaisariani bathhouse along with similar ones preserved at Dafni or on Mount Kitheron, are apparently among very few examples known from the period and bear witness to the monastic rule which specified the frequent practise of ablutions. The method of construction is after the tradition of Roman Baths. The Refectory and kitchen are housed together in a single building by the western enclosure wall opposite the front of the church. The arched wall outside the monk's cells from the cloister and the green surroundings, tress, shrubs, plants and undergrowth, add to the beauty of the warm coloured brick.
Cypresses stand tall behind the church as if to add their own stately protection.
When monasteries were built years ago, the accent was on selfpreservation. Kaisariani is in the perfect spot for this purpose, unseen except up close, yet having a clear view of its surroundings. It was last inhabited up to 1922 when the remaining monks fled the monastery. Since then it became a museum. The air is clear and fresh, springs trickle gently, wild birds sweep by and in the region, honey bees go about their busy task of producing Hymettos honey for our edification.
