One of the oldest churches in Thessaly, built in the 11th century on the foundations of an early Christian basilica from the 5th century. Inside are multi-layered frescoes created between the 12th and 17th centuries, and the altar table is an ancient marble element originating from the original temple. The church is located in the older part of Kalambaka, immediately at the foot of the Meteora rocks.
