The Church of the Archangels The Church of the Archangels is located close to the main church of the village of Klimatia (St. Dimitrios). It was probably built in memory of a local monastery of the Byzantine era. No sources survive about its origins; however, its architectural form and a few framgments of frescoes suggest a date close to that of the churches of St. Dimitrios and Tranfiguration (Klimatia). The church is single-spaced with a three-sided apse to the east, covered by a mansard. The masonry is made of limestone blocks with a few porous stones. At earlier times, there must be a narthex to the west. No decoration survives in the interrior; only a simple icon screen, painted with olive green and brown hues (1812). Its main icons (Christ and Virgin Mary) were painted by the famous Ioannite painter Petros Georgiadis, in 1840. |
