The book of the Holy Monastery of Rousanou was published by Militos Publications. It presents the grandeur of the monastic complex and its exceptional natural landscape.

The opening chapters discuss the geological formation of the rocks and the Meteora geotope. They are followed by a concise account of the long history of the monasteries.
