Churches

ABOUT

In the charming village of Roussospiti, also known as 'the balcony of Rethymno', visitors can light a candle to the Virgin Mary.

It is a small single-aisled church.

It was constructed in the early 14th century and subsequently expanded to the west with a taller narthex.

Parts of a monument or tomb that it once housed are still preserved.

The Crucifixion of Christ is among the best-preserved frescoes in the church, showcasing one of the most dynamic expressions of Cretan art.
