Monastic city, the capital of Mount Athos since the tenth century.
Kariès is not a monastery, but it has been the capital of Mount Athos since the 10th century. Representatives of each monastery meet there to discuss the internal functioning of the monastic city. Everything that is political and not spiritual depends on the Greek Ministry of Foreign Relations. Kari's organization is strange and ascetic. All its buildings belong to the monasteries. An hour's walk from Kiès is the Aghios Andréas sect, founded thanks to the capital and donations of the Russian tsars.
