Description
Monemvasia, Naos tis Panagias Kritikias or Myrtidiotissa. Panagiota Skagkou (5th EBA) reports on excavation work undertaken in order to establish the earlier building phases of the church and to assess its state of preservation. Work was focused on the interior of the church and in areas to the east and north. The aim of the interior work was to identify the level of the initial floor. Based on the presence of two concrete steps in the main entrance, along with successive floor surfaces which obscured the original door pillars, it has been inferred that the depth of the earlier floor would have been lower. Its actual level remains to be verified.
In the eastern part of the church and attached to the Iero Vima, was a rubble wall of bricks and lime mortar. On its northern side was a vertical poros post belonging to a door, corresponding to the prothesis of the church. Between the Iero Vima and the wall, was another wall of an earlier building to the east of the present church. The central apse of the Iero Vima was not semi-circular as is normal for churches in the area of Monemvasia, but straight. The wall of the Iero Vima was constructed with rubble and mortar, the southern side of which overlay a cobble path, while in the north it sat upon the remains of earlier structures. Construction methods and the style of the church indicate that it was built during the 2nd Venetian occupation (1690-1715), probably not before 1699.
