Όλες οι Ιερές Μονές του Αγίου Όρους αποτελούν θρησκευτικά πνευματικά ιδρύματα και όλες χαρακτηρίζονται ως «Κυρίαρχες», «Βασιλικές», «Πατριαρχικές» και «Σταυροπηγιακές».
Κυρίαρχες επειδή διατηρούν ιδιοκτησιακό και οργανωτικό αυτοδιοίκητο του χώρου τους, μη υποκείμενο σε κανένα περιορισμό ως προς τον αριθμό των μοναχών. Βασιλικές επειδή η ίδρυσή τους οφείλεται σε εντολή ή συνδρομή των Βυζαντινών Αυτοκρατόρων ή η ίδρυσή τους επικυρώθηκε με αυτοκρατορικό χρυσόβουλο. Πατριαρχικές ονομάστηκαν αργότερα με την έκδοση πατριαρχικών σχετικών σιγιλλίων, όταν συνδέθηκαν με το Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, που ανέλαβε την πνευματική και μόνο εποπτεία τους. Σταυροπηγιακές γιατί κατά την ίδρυσή τους τοποθετήθηκε σε αυτές σταυρός, ο οποίος απεστάλη από το Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο.

Ιστορικά έγγραφα σχετικά με την ιστορία του αρχαίου Αγίου Όρους είναι ελάχιστα. Είμαστε βέβαιοι ότι οι μοναχοί ήταν ήδη εκεί από τον 4ο αιώνα. Την περίοδο αυτή ζούσαν και οι χριστιανοί και οι ειδωλολάτρες. Μετά την ισλαμική κατάκτηση της Αιγύπτου τον 7ο αιώνα, πολλοί μοναχοί από την αιγυπτιακή έρημο προσπάθησαν να βρουν άλλη στέγη και μερικοί από αυτούς ήρθαν στη χερσόνησο του Άθω. Το 866 ο Ιωάννης Κολοβός έχτισε το πρώτο μοναστικό κέντρο, τη Μεγάλη Βίγλα. Έκτοτε, το Άγιον Όρος έγινε η χώρα της μοναχικής ζωής.
Το 958 μ.Χ., ο μοναχός Αθανάσιος ο Αθωνίτης έφθασε στο Άγιον Όρος από τη Μονή Ξερολίμνης της Μικράς Ασίας. Το 962 χτίστηκε η μεγάλη κεντρική εκκλησία του «Πρωτάτου» στην Καρυές. Την επόμενη χρονιά, με την υποστήριξη του αυτοκράτορα Νικηφόρου Φωκά, ιδρύθηκε το μοναστήρι της Μεγίστης Λαύρας, το μεγαλύτερο και σημαντικότερο από τα 20 μοναστήρια που υπάρχουν σήμερα.

Από το Βυζάντιο, η ορθόδοξη πίστη εξαπλώθηκε στα Βαλκάνια και μοναχοί από αυτά τα εδάφη έφτασαν στο Άγιο Όρος για να ιδρύσουν μοναστήρια. Γεωργιανοί μοναχοί ίδρυσαν το μοναστήρι των Ιβήρων (976), οι Σέρβοι το μοναστήρι του Χιλανδαρίου (1197) και οι Βούλγαροι το μοναστήρι του Ζωγράφου (1270).
Κατά τους πρώτους δύο αιώνες αυτής της περιόδου ιδρύθηκαν περισσότερα από 180 μοναστήρια με πάνω από 20.000 μοναχούς. Αργότερα, τα περισσότερα καταστράφηκαν από τις Σταυροφορίες και τους πειρατές.Ακόμη και αυτοί αυτοκράτορες έχτισαν μοναστήρια. Οι Χριστιανοί βασιλιάδες των Βαλκανίων στήριξαν επίσης το Άγιο Όρος. Οι Ρώσοι ίδρυσαν και υποστήριζαν μοναστήρια.
Tο 1926, το Άγιον Όρος έγινε αυτοδιοικούμενο τμήμα του ελληνικού κράτους σύμφωνα με τη συνθήκη της Λωζάννης (1924). Σύμφωνα με αυτό, εξαρτάται από το Πατριαρχείο της Κωνσταντινούπολης και εποπτεύεται από την Ελλάδα.
