Church of Agios Vasilios, Byzantine Orthodox church in Methoni, Greece
The Church of Agios Vasilios features a cruciform layout with a three-apse arrangement and stands two kilometers north of Methoni town center.
Dating from the 11th century, this religious structure marks the architectural transition from three-aisled basilicas to cross-domed Byzantine church designs.
The interior walls once displayed extensive frescoes, including depictions of Saint Eustathius and Saint Irene, reflecting Orthodox Christian artistic traditions.
The church building remains accessible via the main road connecting Methoni to Pylos, positioned among olive groves in the Peloponnese countryside.
The construction materials of Agios Vasilios originated from the catacombs of Saint Onoufrios, an ancient Christian cemetery located nearby.
