Vrontókhion Monastery - Afendikó

The Vrontókhion monastery has the largest church in Mistra, the Afendikó, built shortly before 1311, which has impressive frescoes (recently restored). This was the first example of a type of church characteristic of Mistra, with a basilican lower story and an upper story in the form of a domed cruciform church - a synthesis of the Early Christian and Byzantine basilica with later Byzantine traditions.
