The church and the town were abandoned due to a destructive earthquake that took place in the 18th century and many of the holy icons and parts of its splendid interior are found in the new church that is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary in Adamas.
The Greek Ministry of Culture registers Panagia Portiani as a listed monument and, inside it, visitors can admire stupendous mural paintings and several other relics.
