Pagans and warrior saints
Central cobbled street
The Taxiarches church, at the end of the cobbled street, is the metropolitan church of Areopoli. Built at the end of the 18th century, it has an exterior engraved decoration with clear pagan influences as it depicts elements of the zodiac. The leaders of the heavenly host and the riding warrior saints that also depicted in parts of the walls are related to the living conditions and the physiognomy of the settlement.
