Lire l'histoire

The church of Panagia Panokastriani is located above Kastri , province Mylopotamos, where the ruined fortress of Pano Kasteli was built. Kastri was the seat and base of the strongest Christian family during the Venetian occupation, Kallergis , whose coats of arms are located in the arch of the sanctuary.

The church of the Virgin Mary, today serving the cemetery of the village, is a two-story church dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin and to Saint Nektarios. The south aisle is covered by a pointed arch and the south by half pointed.

The aisles are separated by a pillar-based arch. The temple was built on the site of an older one, with some traces of the sanctuary.
