Courtyard Panteleimonos 1903. There has to be another photograph of this scene.
Entrance of Vatopedi 1903. I don’t think the building on the right is still there.
The photos are from the book Greece: The journey of the Hellenists1896-1912. There are a few more on the blog of Mystagogy.

It funny to see a minaret on the Holy Mountain!!?
It is not fysical reality what is depicted. Islam was growing, visible (in Greece) those centuries. The monasteries are not real, I think. The map just indicates: Mons Sanctus (Holy Mountain).
The minaret is strange , I agree, because the islam came in 1453. Is the image of a later date then 1420?
You can argue that the mapmaker had some knowledge of the location of the monasteries. My interpretation: in the middle Karyes, the small building. At the end the chapel on the summit although a mountain is not drawn, on the left Vatopedi, Iviron and lavra. On the right Chilandariou and Xenophontos.
