Panagia Gorgoepikoos Church

Panagia Gorgoepikoos Church
It is dedicated to Panagia Gorgoepikoos (answers to prayers quickly) and to Agios Eleftherios, patron of women about to give birth.
The church was built in the 12th Century entirely with Pentelic marble, with a pattern of sculptures, ancient and Byzantine. It is distinguished for the strange usage of entirely ancient material that the architect preferred without straying from the Byzantine line. The churchʼs floor is about 30 cm lower than todayʼs earth surface, a fact that indicates its age.
