Location: Lefkes

The Church of Agia Triada in Lefkes Paros: Located in the mountainous village of Lefkes, the Church of Agia Triada is a Byzantine temple of unique architectural importance.
Dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the church is the second most imposing on the island and was initially established on the previous location of three smaller churches (Agia Anna, Analipsi and Agios Georgios).

The construction operations began in 1830 and were completed in 1835. The impressive church belongs to the basilica type, with a three-aisle pattern, including skillfully fashioned arches. The bell towers are delightful examples of architectural mastery, while the main building material used is the renowned semi-transparent Parian marble, known as “Lychnitis”.

The interior is adorned with elaborate frescoes that suggest artistic work of superior technique and talent, while an emblematic ceramic representation of the Holy Trinity made by iconographer Virginia Kydonieo adorns the main inner gate.

Nowadays, the Church of Agia Triada is classified as a monument of special cultural significance by the Greek Ministry of Culture and definitely worths the visit.
