Abstract:
The katholikon of the Evangelistria monastery in Haliartos (17th c.) on the side of Mt. Helikon is a rare case of a two-story post-Byzantine katholikon. On the ground floor there is a cross-in-square church distyle type and narthex with low dome in the middle and semi-domes on corner squinches at the sides. Beneath the nave there is a three- aisled barrel-vaulted crypt imitating the one in the monastery of Hosios Seraphim Dombou (16th c.), which was influenced by the neighboring monastery of Hosios Loukas (11th c.). Vaulted passageways serve to conceal valuables and to accommodate people’s exit.
