Church of Christ the Saviour in Temenia

ABOUT

Faith and art often walk hand in hand, as exemplified by the Church of Christ the Saviour in the village of Temenia.

The construction of the church occurred in two phases. The initial phase, dating back to the 13th century, saw the creation of a single-aisled, vaulted church internally shaped with blind arches. The second phase, in the 14th century, witnessed the addition of an independent narthex to the west, designed in the form of a single-aisled domed church. The original church was adorned with frescoes at the end of the 13th century by a painter influenced by Western artistic styles.
