The Byzantine wall-paintings in the church of Saint Theodore at Platanos, Kynouria (Arcadia)
View through CrossRef
The church of St Theodore (also known as "Sts Theodoroi") at Platanos,
Kynouria, is a single-nave building of small dimensions. The interior
surfaces of its walls preserve their Byzantine paintings, which are
partially visible under the coat of plaster that covers most of them. The
paintings exhibit affinity with wall-paintings of churches in the
Peloponnese (neighbouring Laconia included), and can be dated to the last
quarter of the thirteenth century.
