Zakynthos topoguide: the byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos Megalomatis

The byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos Megalomatis is the most important ecclesiastical monument of Zakynthos, as it is among the very few dating from the Byzantine period (10th-12th c.). It had been part of a larger – later built – monastic complex.

Of the hundreds of churches in the settlements and the countryside, the churches of the so-called "pre-earthquake villages", such as the "Old" villages of Riza, are of particular interest. These churches, though usually wounded by the 1953 earthquakes, preserve the grandeur and aesthetic of the Ionian Baroque.
