Type: Basilica
Date: Palaeologan period
Description:
The church lies in Penteli, when we turn right on the street leading from Hagios Petros to Old Pentelis Square, in the sign with the indication “Hagioi Asomatoi”. Next to the church there is still a spring.
It is an elegant basilica with exquisite 12th century wall paintings.
Orlandos had dated the church to the 11th – 12th century. However, Pr. Bouras has dated it to the Palaeologan period (13th – 15th century). He also dates to the same period the built - with marble colonettes - screen, which Orlandos had also dated to the 12th century.
The church is possibly identified with the so-called “Hagios Michael of Kipoulouezi” or “Sancti Michaelis de Kypolisto” mentioned in the western sources.
