Ypapanti, Kouvaras
Area: Kouvaras
Type: Timber - Roofed Basilica
Date: Byzantine phase
Description:
The church is situated in an area with pine trees, three kilometers northeast of the village Kubara. It is an aisleless, timber-roofed basilica with an external three-sided apse. A wide narthex has been incorporated in the west close to modifications. Despite these modifications, the older Byzantine phase of the church (the eastern side with the three-sided apse) can be clearly detected by the incorporated sculptured fragments in the interior. Among them great interest presents a panel with an inscription, which lies incorporated into the lower part of the built screen, on the right of the Royal Doors. A cross with vine branches with grapes is portrayed in the middle. The skillful wall paintings are posterior dated to the late years of the Turkish domination.
