CHURCH OF PANAGIA CHALKEON

A church built entirely of bricks, which also form the distinctive decorative patterns on its façades, dating back to 1028 according to a marble inscription located above the western entrance. Its name derives from the coppersmith workshops that operated in the area during the Byzantine period. Its restoration was completed in 2026 by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Thessaloniki.
