Greece - Nafplion, Church of Panagia
The Church of Panagia (Ιερός Ναός Παναγίας) – consecrated to the Presentation of the Virgin Mary - is one of the oldest and most beautiful churches of Nafplion. The original temple, dating back to the 15th century was smaller and belonged to the Orthodox Church. Around 1700, during the second Venetian domination, the church took its current form, a three-aisled basilica. A further addition is the church-porch, while the bell tower dates added in 1907.
The Church of Panagia has a beautiful wood-carved temple of Ionian style inside, created in the 19th century. The pulpit and the episcopal throne of the church are of a similar style. Its frescoes are impressive.
