PYRGOS (Village) ASTEROUSSIOI
In the middle of the town on the south side of the street and clearly
marked, is the fourteenth century church of Agii Georgios and Konstantinos. There
are some well-preserved frescoes as well as some old inscriptions dating from
1314. The frescoes on the south aisle are unique in the Byzantine world since
they present a series of events in the life of Byzantine Emperor Konstantinos
the Great. Events from his birth, childhood, the crowning of his son and the battle
on the Milvian bridge are shown.
