Orthodox monasteries are like fortresses with high walls, small windows, and generally well-protected doorways. In the center of each monastery is the church, called “katholikon”, the place where everyone meets, that’s what the word means. In the katholikon, monks gather for prayer and Masses during the day and at night. Tradition says that the visitor first enter the church and pray before doing anything else.
