Panagia Drosiani
   

 

The church is near the village of Moni in the area of Tragaia.

Panagaia Drosiani, formerly the main church of a monastery, is one of the most important, oldest churches in the Balcan and is still in use.

It is an Early Christian,
triapsidal church with a dome. Three single-room chapels are incorporated along the northern side.


The church is a rarity for Greece as a whole in that it preserves wall-paintings from before the time of the iconoclastic controversy.

The interior wall surfaces have wall paintings of various phases. The earliest layer of wall paintings, which dates to the end of the 6th and beginning of the 7th centuries has been revealed in the dome, the sanctum and in the northern apse. The latest layer on both dome and apse is datable to the 13th and 14th centuries; it has been removed from the wall.
