Church of Agia Paraskevi (St.Paraskevi) -Triantafyllia

The church of Agia Paraskevi is located in the village. It is a three-aisled wooden-roofed basilica with a narthex, a women’s gallery and a newer bell tower. The apse of the sanctuary is semi-hexagonal. The external dimensions of the church are: 19.35 x 11.96 m. The small rectangular windows on the N side, which survived until 1960 in their original form, were opened in recent general repairs, when a turreted bell tower was added on the west side.
The sanctuary’s apse is formed externally hexagonal. And in the case of St. Paraskevi, the cut-outs appear on the E and W ends of the gabled roof. Inside the church there is a tall iconostasis.
The nave of the church has a flat roof, as do the side aisles, except that the raised roof of the nave is curved with a baguette construction, at the edges.
According to tradition, the church was built in 1855. Inside the church, the iconostasis and the dominant throne are preserved, painted in colour.
