Church of Panaghia Kera

The original aisleless church with cupola was built in the 13th century and it was dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin. The other aisles were added in the next century and the church was repaired.

Today the church has three aisles and a cupola. The central aisle is decorated with frescoes dating in the 13th century.

The side aisles are posterior; the northern is dedicated to St Antonius and the southern to St Anne: both of them were decorated with frescoes in the 14th century. The church's iconographic programs are extremely interesting, starting with the archaic style in the first layer of frescoes and continuing with the Paleologan style in the latter. Works of restoration, consolidation and tidying up are carried out.
