The Holy Church of Panagia Eiskepsis Trikala σκεται It is located in the old quarter of Varousi, one of the ancient and historical churches of Trikala. The present church began to be built on March 26, 1863 and was completed on April 29, 1867. The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary as a Visit, a name common in Byzantine iconography. An old icon of the Virgin Mary, silver-plated in 1896, by Anastasios Tsinaridis from Haliki, is inscribed "THE VISIT". It is defined by its founding inscription to be honored twice a year: August 15 (Assumption of the Virgin Mary) and November 21 (Entrances of the Virgin). The temple is majestic, as well as all-encompassing, a three-aisled basilica with a dome, to the east it ends in a nine-sided niche with stone carvings, two-headed eagles, birds, six wings, angelic heads, crosses. The stone-carved doorway of the western entrance is also very beautiful. There are brilliant wood carvings with rich traditional decoration. The iconostasis belongs to the year 1869 and is of Metsovite art. Excellent wood carvings are also the pulpit, the despotic throne, the shrine. In the southwest corner of the building in 1959 the stone bell tower was erected. Until August 24, 1967 it was the metropolitan church of Trikala, here the thanksgiving doxology of the liberation of the city in 1881 was performed.
