The monastery flourished in that era and it was decorated with frescoes in the 11th and the 12th century. In fact, it is said that Saint John brought to the monastery ecclesiastical equipment and valuable relics from Constantinople, after the authorization of the Emperor and the Patriarch, but nothing has survived till today. The Byzantine church of the Panagia Kardiotissa of the monastery of Antifonitrias contains very well-preserved frescoes from the twelfth century. The church has cruciform architecture with a large dome on a drum, and a large narthex in front of the church. The narthex has blind arches and it is also painted.
