The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin
The village is particularly well known in the wider area, with many references on the internet[5], for the elaborate dome of its church and its frescoes. It is a single-aisled cruciform post-Byzantine church. The first fresco, which has suffered a lot of damage, also informs us about the year the church was built.[6] The middle zone of frescoes from the 15th century is covered with hagiographies in medallions. The second fresco (1749), ΑΦΜΤΗ covers the walls of the narthex and certain lower parts of the church, where the Assumption of the Virgin, Saint Peter, etc. are depicted.
