Church of Pantokrator (S. Salvatore)
Taxiarchon Square
The church of Pantokrator is located in Kampielo, in Taxiarches Square, near "Volto tou Kokkini". It was built in the early 16th century and underwent alterations during the period 1572-1574. It was a synodal church. Above the main entrance, on the facade of the church, there are two semicircular windows and the circular skylight of ginekonitis (women's space). The engraved angel on the roof is the work of the 18th century Italian sculptor Giuseppe Torretti. Following the western wall to the north, there is the base of the bell tower. In the early 20th century the tombstones were removed from the interior of the church and the floor was replaced. Its stone iconostasis bears elaborate relief plant motifs and angel heads. After World War II bombing, the church was rebuilt where the church of the Archangels used to be.
