Description:
Type: Cross-in-Square
Date: 13th - 15th century
Description:
The church, which is located in Elaion in Megara, is a simple, four-columned, cross-in-square church with no narthex.
It is dated to the Palaeologan period (13th – 15th century).
The lack of figures from the Turkish domination as well as the general form of the monument lead us to this dating.
A wall painting preserved on the southern wall next to the screen (Hagios Nikolaos) is much more recent, since it is dated to the 18th century.
