Description:
The church is situated in Stravon Street in Plaka and, as indicated by its name, it must have belonged to the aristocratic Rangava family. It is a simple, four-columned, cross-in-square church dated to the first half of the 11th century. It has been damaged, especially during the 19th century, but it was restored – at least in its largest part – in the end of the 70’s.
