Church of Saints Kirykos and Julitta in Veria

A Significant Byzantine Monument in the Heart of the City

The Church of Saints Kyrikos and Ioulitta in Veria, built in the 14th century, was originally the katholikon of a stauropegic monastery. Initially cruciform with a dome, it was transformed into a single-nave wooden-roofed church in the 16th century.

It features ceramic decorative elements and frescoes from the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. A highlight of the church is the 17th-century fresco depicting Christ and the Virgin Mary enthroned.
