Description
The Church of St. Demetrios was built on the site of an old chapel that burned down in 1726. It has the form of a three-nave basilica with external galleries. During archaeological excavations in 1999/2000 beneath the floor of the current church, three older horizons were discovered: 1. the remains of the foundations of a sacred object dating back to the 16th century 2. the remains of the foundations of a modest sacred building, west-east oriented graves, and pottery from the 13th and 14th centuries, and 3. a cultural layer, dated to the 10th century based on archaeological findings.
