P	Panos Toutountzidis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ο ναός του Αγίου Προκοπίου κτίστηκε τον 14ο αιώνα και ήταν αρχικά μονόχωρος με ξύλινη στέγη. Μεταγενέστερα, ύστερα από τις αλλεπάλληλες επεμβάσεις που δέχτηκε μέχρι τις αρχές του 17ου αιώνα, απέκτησε το σχήμα τρίκλιτης βασιλικής, μορφή που διατηρεί μέχρι σήμερα. Οι παλαιότερες και σπουδαιότερες τοιχογραφίες βρίσκονται στον δυτικό τοίχο του αρχικού ναού και ανάγονται στο τέλος του 14ου αιώνα. Το 1589 και το 1607 ο ναός φιλοτεχνήθηκε εκ νέου με σημαντικές τοιχογραφίες που περιλαμβάνουν, μεταξύ άλλων, παραστάσεις όπως η Γέννηση, ο Ευαγγελισμός, η Άκρα Ταπείνωση και η Ανάληψη, καθώς και απεικονίσεις αγίων όπως οι Άγιοι Αχίλλειος, Κωνσταντίνος και Ελένη, Θεοδώρα, Μάμας κ.α. The church of St Procopius was built in the 14th century and was originally a single aisle with a wooden roof. Later, after the repeated interventions accepted until the early 17th century, it acquired the shape basilica, form that maintains until today. The older (late 14th century) and most important frescoes are on the western wall of the original church. In 1589 and 1607 the church was painted again with significant frescoes which include, among others, performances such as the Nativity, the Annunciation, the Man of Sorrows and Ascension and saints illustrations as Saints Achilles, Constantine and Helen, Theodora, Mamas etc. The church of Agios Prokopios was built in the 14th century and was originally a single-roomed wooden roof.
