Church of the Virgin, Eastern Orthodox church in Neo Ireo, Greece.

The Church of the Virgin features stone crosses adorning its northern, western, and southern walls, with marble revetment decorating the eastern facade.

Built around 1200, this Byzantine church demonstrates the architectural evolution through its dome construction and subsequent modifications to the upper structure.

The church preserves traditional Eastern Orthodox elements, including a cross-in-square layout and a dome supported by four columns following Middle Byzantine design.

Located 7 kilometers from Argos within the Argos-Mykines Municipality, the church maintains its status as a protected archaeological site open to visitors.

The building incorporates Middle Byzantine cloisonné masonry techniques upon a foundation that rests on two distinct steps, marking its architectural significance.
