Church of “Mikri Panagia”

A few meters west of the village, on private land, stands the little chapel known as “Mikri Panagia,” probably named in correspondence to the “Megali Panagia” of the nearby Metochi of Megistis Lavra. The current chapel was erected in recent decades on the site of an earlier one that collapsed in the 1968 earthquake. Of particular interest are the embedded marble and stone architectural members that decorate mainly the façade around the door, as well as pieces in the courtyard. These include elongated elements, one bearing a square dowel hole, and a small stone column. Their provenance is not entirely clear; they may come from the earlier chapel that was destroyed, or have been brought from another monument in the wider area.
