Inscription

The frescoes were painted in the middle of the 16th century, probably in 1552, by a fine artist. However, the dedicatory inscription above the entrance was skilfully altered in the 18th century by the famous forger Simonides, and therefore the information it contains is of another type of interest.
Above the inscription, on the western wall in its usual position, the Dormition of the Virgin Mary creates a sense of monumentality, despite the small dimensions of the space and the surfaces. On the northern side of the western wall, the depiction of the embrace of the apostles Peter and Pavlos usually represents the affection between the western and eastern churches.
