KANDANOS (Village) CHANIA
Sotiras Christos, in the neighbourhood of Tzevremiana, is one of the
most important churches in Crete. The church itself does not seem to be very old,
but it has many parts of an older basilica incorporated into its construction.
There are column capitals of an older church throughout the newer one. A part
of a cross and a column have been built in the wall of the church. There are also
several small columns with crosses that have been used to support blind arches
in the interior of the church. The local people believe that all those pieces
belonged to an older bishopric church. The church itself is of a single aisle,
long, and has interesting Byzantine brick decorations at the back. Brick decorations
have also been constructed around the church's back window. The church has blind
arches to support its structure. Inside the church there are interesting frescoes
from the fourteenth century.
