Property of Komninoi-Doukes family (13th century). When it went bankrupt it became part of the Church of Kato Panagia. The first time the church is mentioned as a nunnery is on the signet of Patriarch Jeremiah II (1578).
The church is built based on the octagonal / cruciform type. While the outside is a rectangular building, the interior stands out for the elegance of the detailed sculptural decoration. On the dome you can see the well-preserved mosaic of the Pantocrator and inside the church you can admire the frescoes made by painter Ananias (16th century) or other wall paintings that date back to the17th century.
Excavations in the churchyard –though not very systematic – started in the 90s and, also, incisions were made on the floor of the main temple in 1989. In 1977 the wooden door of the west side was replaced, and the electrical installation and the maintenance of the cells were completed. In 1991 the southwestern side was enhanced internally with pillars and the wall paintings were preserved.
