The Byzantine opus sectile floor in the katholikon of Iveron monastery on Mount Athos

The Byzantine opus sectile floor in the katholikon of Iveron monastery is one of the best preserved and most remarkable opus sectile floors in Athos, made as a piètre dure like most Athonite floors. Was constructed around the mid-1 11th century, probably by craftsmen from the Constantinople, as part of the 'renovations' commissioned by George the Athonite during his highly creative office as abbot of the monastery (1045-1056). .
