The Sacred Church of Agios Nikolaos in Iria

The church of Agios Nikolaos has survived in the north part of Iria, close to the remains of a fort. The church is a single-aisle cross-shape, with two crossing arches which create the form of a cross at the roof. This specific architectural type is found in churches in Argolis from the 13th century on. The few remaining murals which decorate the church's interior, belong to the time of the second Venetian occupation.
