The church was built in 870 BC.
| The
monastery of Agia Anastasia |
|
At the foot of one of the peaks of Mont Hortiatis stands
the
|
 |
monastery of Agia Anastasia which was built in 1522.
Only the doomed ground floor of the south wing and the
underground buildings on the western side has been preserved.
The relics of the monastery’s founder, Saint Theonas,
are kept in the catholicon.
Situated on a verdant slope about 2 kilometres outside
the village of |
|
Megali Panaghia, the church was built in
1863 and gave its name to the village.
Because the church was almost completely destroyed by
an earthquake in 1932, it has to be rebuilt.
A wooden carved iconostasis from 1870 remained from the
old church. |
