Description
Monemvasia, Lower City. Church of Ag. Anna or the Ag. Akindynoi. K. Diamanti (5th EBA) reports on test excavation made in the ruined south aisle of this two-aisled church in the context of work to stabilize and conserve the building. Part of the south wall was discovered, plus the continuation of the apse of the altar. The apse (2.4m in diameter, preserved to a height of 0.5m) was founded on a levelled, stable surface and bedrock. The floor is destroyed. Below it was a small tholos-like room. The south wall of the church, revealed for a length of 1.3m, has white lime plaster on the interior face. Approximately in the centre of the aisle was a rectangular cist tomb, filled in. Excavation in the north aisle revealed the original floor ( of beaten lime plaster) in the area of the apse of the altar at a depth of 0.6m. In the main church, the floor was later destroyed and a structure erected in the aisle (this has yet to be fully investigated). Research to trace the line of the south and west wall will continue.
