Panagia Kontariotissa

Panagia Kontariotissa or Kountouriotissa (Greek: Παναγία Κονταριώτισσα or Κουντουριώτισσα), formally the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos (Ιερός Ναός Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου), is a very well preserved Byzantine monument in Pieria, Greece.

[1] On a hill on the northwestern outskirts of the village Kontariotissa, about 6.5 kilometers southwest of Katerini.

Judging by the shape (morphology) of the building, it was built at the time of the Byzantine Iconoclasm or earlier.

[3] The building has a cylindrical dome supported by four round pillars and has a chapel in the north and south.

The apse, delimited by a carved wooden iconostasis, in the eastern part of the church, is bounded by a three-part window.
