Church of St. Theodora
Church of St. Theodora, Byzantine church in Arta, Greece.
The Church of St. Theodora features three aisles, an attached narthex, and two pediments, built with stone and brick construction materials.
The church dates from 1100 and underwent substantial modifications around 1270 when Queen Theodora added a narthex and two pediments to the structure.
The building represents the religious legacy of the Despotate of Epirus period, displaying intricate ceramic decorations with meanders and herringbone patterns.
Visitors can observe the remaining southwest corner of the original colonnaded exonarthex and examine the preserved architectural elements of the medieval structure.
The church contains the tomb of Queen Theodora, who transformed the initial structure into a nunnery dedicated to St. George after her husband's death.
