AGIOI THEODOROI

The Church of Agioi Theodoroi was most likely built on the ruins of another building.

Inscribed slates built-in on the west wall, above the entrance, indicate that the church was renovated in 1065 A.D. by Nikolaos Kalomalos.

It suffered major destructions during the Independence War of 1821 but was restored in 1840. Furthermore, the sanctuary and the pulpit have been restored.

The church is a simple two pillar design with narthex and dome supported by walls. Three archways are formed on the east side with the middle one being the bigger.

The bell-tower on the south side is a later addition. The walls are built with the characteristic brick-enclosed technique and are embellished with ceramic décor.

The interior murals are dated back to the 19th Century.
