Modern Description: On a small road about 1 km S of Sykamino. Ancient blocks built into a basilica with dome. The blocked gothic archway in the S wall suggests it is a 13th century church, perhaps built by the Knights of St. John, who controlled the nearby castle of Sykamino, of which only traces remain overlooking the strategic Asopos river ford. The church has been much altered over time.
