Mystras - St. Christopher / St. George
|
 The church was restored in 1954. Judging from the few surviving frescoes -
figures of Apostles on the central arch of the south wall, St. Christopher(of which only
the head survives) on a lower above the doorway, and a bishop enthroned on the following
tympanum - the church can be dated to the late 14th century.These small chapels, mostly sepulchres, scattered all over the hill of Mystra, served as private churches of distinguished families.
Restored in 1953, this is one of the most characteristic of Mystra's chapels. The south roof, with its attractive brickwork decoration, is particularly interesting . Like other chapels at Mystra, St. George served as a private church, the property of some aristocratic family whose members were buried here. NIKOS V. GEORGIADIS - MISTRA |
