AGIOS DIMITRIOS LOUBARDIARIS

The church is dedicated to Saint Demetrius and took the name "Loubardiaris" because around 1650 the following peculiar event took place:

On the eve of 26 October, a thunder bolt hit the Turkish garrison commander, Yusuf Aga, who had installed a loubarda (big canon) at the Acropolis Propylaea because he was planning to attack the Christian believers on Saint Demetrius day.

The lightening hit and killed the garrison commander and the faithful were able to honor the Saint in the church.
