The monastery of Profitis Ilias is an Orthodox monastery built during the Venetian occupation and one of the oldest in Crete. It is located near the village of Rοustika, southwest of the village on a small rocky hill and in a verdant landscape. It has a fortress architecture. The monastery had become the center of the revolutionaries against the Turks and for this reason it was destroyed by them in 1823. During the Second World War, the Historical Archive of Crete was kept in the Monastery. In the National Library in Paris there is a special area for the old books that come from this monastery.
