description the small island of pátmos in the dodecanese is reputed to be where st john the theologian wrote both his gospel and the apocalypse. a monastery dedicated to the ‘beloved disciple’ was founded there in the late 10th century and it has been a place of pilgrimage and greek orthodox learning ever since. the fine monastic complex dominates the island. the old settlement of chorá, associated with it, contains many religious and secular buildings.
justification criterion (iii): the town of chorá on the island of pátmos is one of the few settlements in greece that have evolved uninterruptedly since the 12th century. there are few other places in the world where religious ceremonies that date back to the early christian times are still being practised unchanged. criterion (iv): the monastery of hagios ioannis theologos (saint john the theologian) and the cave of the apocalypse on the island of pátmos, together with the associated medieval settlement of chorá, constitute an exceptional example of a traditional greek orthodox pilgrimage centre of outstanding architectural interest. criterion (vi): the monastery of hagios ioannis theologos and the cave of the apocalypse commemorate the site where st john the theologian (divine), the “beloved disciple”, composed two of the most sacred christian works, his gospel and the apocalypse.
