The history of Mount Pelio churches is a long story worth for historians to explore. Most of them were built circa 1750 and they all have the same style of Basilica which is long, usually without a central dome, or if there was one, it was hidden under a two slope tiled roof. On the left and the right there were roofed porches and their very end two small chapels dedicated to different saints from the main church. They were stone built covered with a stone tile roof. They all had a carved wooden temple and were decorated by local artists, and in the richer parishes there were famous artists, many of them from Constantinople the center of the Orthodox Church since the Byzantine times or Mount Athos. The decoration is mainly frescoes and on the outside carved stones or marbles, depicting various themes from religious, to scientific (Agios Georgios-Zagora) or everyday scenes such as hunting and agriculture (Agia Magdalini-Makrinitsa).

The church here is a circa 12th century construction built at the top of the Episkopi hill in Anankasia.

Hi Argiris

Good sharpness & marvellous colour. I like the juxtapositioning of the fg yellow arch, against the smaller, bg blue arch. Tfs!

Hello Argiris,
The light is very eye catching in this photo.
Nice POV and colors. TFS

Kalispera, Argiri:)

Great perspective, splendid colors, excellent combination of three different areas: foreground, yellow arch and faraway background (which I liked mostly):)

Very well done, congratulations!
