		The history of the monastery indicates that in the 12th and 13th centuries A.D. the convent was rich and prosperous with monks engaged in apiculture, the rearing of bees, and the honey produced was their chief source of income.
		Kaisariani is characteristic as an 11th century edifice by its proportions: the narrow side bays and the dome with its very tall drum, pierced by eight windows.
		The Kaisariani bathhouse along with similar ones preserved at Dafni or on Mount Kitheron, are apparently among very few examples known from the period and bear witness to the monastic rule which specified the frequent practise of ablutions.

		Denuded of its pine forests in the destructive years during World War II, the mountain has since been successfully reforested by the Athenian Friends of the Trees Society and is fragrant with the scent of pine, olive, and eucalyptus trees.
