CHURCH OF THEOTOKOS AT KALLIGATA
Built
in the 18th century. It has a superb wood-carved iconostasis (templon)
with icons of distinguished art.
The titular icon of the Holy Virgin is miraculous
and its name is derived from the Calligarea gate in Constantinople
where the original icon hung.
Its stone architectures with the beautiful architraves,
the Byzantine eagle, its imposing bell tower, the wood-carved iconostasis
dating back to 1804, underline the style of the artists who worked
in the Church using stone and wood.
