history
Around the year 1221, the Cistercian women had established themselves in the Greek Orthodox monastery of St. Maria of Percheio. The convent was placed under the supervision of the abbot of the Sanctus Angelus monastery in Petra . The limited sources indicate that the nunnery must have had larger property. There is evidence of possessions in Acre and a loan of 4,300 Hyperpyra , which the convent granted to Emperor Baldwin II . The monastery probably came to an end with the Latin Empire in 1261.
