It is located near the village of Molyvdoskepastos, at a short distance from the Greek-Albanian border.

Its name stems from the sheets of lead that covered the roof in the past.

According to the tradition, the monastery was built in the 7th century by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV Pogonatos. It was renovated in the 14th century by Andronikos Komnenos Doukas Palaiologos.

The katholikon belongs to a complex architectural style and was built in three phases.

The three-conched church, ending in one big arch to the east with a high and elegant dome, was the first to built.

A single-spaced cross-shaped room was added in the 14th century.
