Remains of the church of the Holy Cross

A complex of two twin churches. The southern and most ancient one, belonging to the type of the compressed cross-in-square church, is in ruins and dates to the late Middle Byzantine period (12th century). It was 10 m long (without the extended conch) and 5.80 m wide. It most probably had a dome. 

The north church was attached to the north wall of the southern church, which was divided by three vaulted passage openings. It had a total length of 10.24m and 5.43m wide. In the center, instead of a dome, there was a cross vault, supported by four elaborate arches with carved decoration extending to the entire length of the transverse rib. The church dates to the 14th century and it seems that it was in use along with the southern church. The church, despite its ruinous state, is a listed monument (Table B) and a study is being prepared for its restoration, support and sheltering.
