Michael Archangelos

The church of Archangelos Michael is single-aisled and has a simplistic exterior, while on the inside it has one of the best preserved frescoes of the 15th century in Crete, dating back to 1431-32. Iconography includes five scenes from the evangelical cycle in the many part of the church, and four scenes in a compact circle of Archangel Michael: prophet Nathan checking out David, the Archangels announcing the remission of sins to David, and the Assembly of the Archangels.
