Holy Church of the Entrance of the Theotokos (Ampelakia)

The Church of the Entry of the Virgin Mary was built in 1887 and belongs to the type of cruciform dome, tetragonal church, with a shallow transversal aisle and an elongated western aisle, which is covered with a P-shaped archway and two spires on the western side. The remarkable peculiarity of the church in relation to the standards of Greek-Byzantineism, to which it belongs, is the existence of a closed arched narthex. The interior of the church is today completely wall-painted facing west. The main mural works were carried out between 1914 and 1926 by the Salaminian iconographer Dimitrios P. Andrianos and his son Nikolaos. On the two pessos integrated into the iconostasis, two interesting representations of Paul are placed in frames. Licking. On the left is the Nativity of Christ and on the right is the Baptism, dated 1896. There is also the image of the Synaxis of the Brigades, which bears Paul's signature.
