Agia Ekaterini, Byzantine church in Upper Town, Greece

The Agia Ekaterini features a central dome supported by four marble columns and displays intricate brick decorations across its exterior walls.

Built in the late 13th century, this religious structure transformed into the Yakup-Pasa mosque during Ottoman rule until its restoration between 1947 and 1951.

The interior walls preserve fragments of 14th-century frescoes depicting church fathers, apostles, prophets, saints, angels, and scenes from Christ's miracles.

Located near the Byzantine walls on Olympiados Street, the church maintains regular visiting hours and celebrates its feast day on November 25th.

The church contains rare, brightly colored marble elements that distinguish it from typical Byzantine architecture of its construction period.
