Modern Description: Located at the foot of Mt Paneion, 1.5 km NW of Keratea, Agia Kyriaki is a small single-aisled basilica. Its architecture bears no distinctive features, but its interior preserves wall-paintings, dated by a partially preserved painted inscription in the Bema, “…ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΥ ӢΨΕ΄” ( = 6705) to 1197/8. Their creator can be considered as a provincial artist, who lacked sophisticated skills but used his imagination, did not always follow the established approach to the standard Christian themes, and was influenced by folk art traditions. Two impost capitals with relief decoration of a Christogram in a circle, surrounded by floral motives, are embedded in the west façade. (Tzavella 2012, p. 272)
